I left my job last month. Typically, leaving a job might not seem significant – after all, more than four million Americans quit their jobs in both October and November of last year in what has commonly been labeled the Great Resignation. Among my circle of friends, many have already switched roles in the past year, and even more plan to do so in the near future. What makes my situation unique is that I actually don’t have another job lined up – at least not a traditional job. As of the 1st of the year, I am now full-time on a project I co-founded last year called Wove. Is this a smart move, or am I taking the plunge too early in the company’s existence? The honest answer is that I’m not sure, but I want to use this essay to share how I came to my decision and why it feels like the right decision at the right time.
