I currently have been working at my current company for a year and a half. It's my first job out of college and money is good but not what it could be at a Fang company. Technical interviews have never been my forte and I need to dedicate at least a month or two to be proficient enough to interview. I'm considering quitting my current job so I can make time to study because at my current job. I lack passion for what I do and it kills my enthusiasm by the time I come home to study for interviews after work. Anyone had ever been in this position?

    So why do it? Go do something you enjoy.

    Also, don’t quit prior to getting a new job.

      Ask a friend, join a meetup/group to find motivation/peers/opportunities.. as others said don’t quit without another job lined up at your stage in your career.

      If you are miserable, you should be extra motivated to do leetcode and find a new job. It's really not hard to find one if you have a decent number of yoe. Work during the day, leetcode at night. Don't think that you are gonna be motivated to do leetcode after you quit if you can't study after work.

    Stick it through, don't quit. Unemployment gaps are bad. Getting a job in a month or two isn't guaranteed. Use your bad day job as motivation to work on your skills. Work hard on yourself when you get off work. Good luck

    Everyone is right, don’t quit without a job or a really strong network. I did it twice and regretted it both times.
