> Of the 20 people we had, 3 had new jobs within 3 months of hire.

I am coming up on month 3 of my new job and not liking the team and leadership. I can tell it will only get worse.

I really want to leave and luckily have the opportunity to close the loop on all my current projects.

Should I just make it quick and send an email to manager tomorrow that I feel it's not a good fit and Friday is my last day? Make it quick and easy before I get more assignments and waste more time.

I have no job lined up but 9 years of experience and at least a year in savings.


Everyone else is giving advice to stick it out until you get a new job, and that's probably good advice, but if you really can't stand it then leave soon. Things will probably work out. It's not all doom and gloom out there.

Like another responder, I left my job in Feb 2020 without something lined up. There were bumps, one company I was in the hiring pipeline with laid off their whole recruiting dept. It took a few months more than I was expecting but I had a better paying job by summer.

My current company had steep layoffs late last year but has some openings already. I suspect many companies will be the same, with positions opening up again.


Do not quit your job without at least a written offer. It is 100% an issue for resume reviewers, hiring managers and interviewers. I have seen plenty of candidates passed over for exactly this reason.

My brother quit his (admittedly bad) job in February of 2020. He didn’t find work beyond Amazon warehouse temp till 2021. He blew through a ton of savings and is still recovering. While don’t believe and sincerely hope we are looking at anything like 2020 again, it is impossible to know and it’s way better to pay it safe.

Your job search will be easier while still employed and less stressful.

Don’t worry about getting assigned more assignments. You can leave those behind when you take a new job. Seriously, after a few years you’ll have seen plenty of people come and go, sometimes suddenly. Organizations will find a way to fill the gap (or try aren’t a very good organization).


No. Your assignments are irrelevant; that handover is what your notice period is for.

Line up a new job first. Might not be as easy as you think.

If you want a break in between tell your new job you can't start for a couple of months.


Look into Zerodium https://zerodium.com/.

They sell exploits to government agencies. They are one of the more legit outfits, but researchers can also sell exploits to NSO style bad actors.


I know what Zerodium is, but why does security work "lead to" exploit selling? There are lots of researchers who don't do that.


Coinbae's at Coinbase.


If used sarcastically this can be great. If anyone uses it genuinely in a serious setting I would feel abused.


Not Coinbros?


Diehl again. He really seems to suffer from CDS 'Crypto Derangement Syndrome'. He seems to care and write more about crypto than even its most fervent fans.

I was actually an intern at a tech company where Diehl was the lead dev about 10 years ago. He was a brilliant coder and technical mind but he was always had 'strong opinions' about various topics.


It seems to be official crypto policy that any criticism of crypto, as a technology, community, ideology, or anything is physically impossible.

Come on man. Stop blinding yourself to a scam.


He'd be hard pressed to beat bloomberg news. Used to be my favorite news channel to flip on but past year or so I couldn't stand all the crypto news that seemed to dominate every time I turned it on.
