Would you prefer to stay at a job you hate for a short period of time (2-3 mo) or be unemployed for the same period of time?
To clarify: I'm obviously going to stay at a job if it pays like 10 times what I normally make. Let's assume the job just pays average, and the position is just particularly awful even compared to similar ones.
Of course I guess "hating" a job can take many forms... Being in a dead-end job, having toxic managers/coworkers, bad location, etc...
