Ever stop to notice how little emphasis we as a society place on quitting? Quitting is something that just happens, a black box, with very little attention paid to how to quit properly. Historically, we look down on quitting. What's the saying? Winners never quit and quitters never win.
It's nice to see quitting get its due, or at the very least a little more attention. Quitting is actually a really important life skill, and essential to learning what is important, respecting yourself enough to go for it, and actually achieving it. One of the most important things a young person can do for their career starting out is to quit jobs and move on. It's the easiest way to bump your salary when you are getting started, and it helps provide opportunities to learn and grow your skills. Quitting and starting something new also helps you figure out what kind of job you want.
So don't feel bad about quitting! Just make sure that you are quitting the right things, use the 85% rule, and when you do quit, make sure you really quit.
