Currently working as SDE-2 at Amazon, promoted some 1 year back.
I'm totally burned out from work pressure, oncalls, layoff and performance review cycles every 3 months. Thinking of resigning without any offer by June/July.
Will this be the right decision in today's market. I'll take some 2-3 months rest and start job hunting again, hopefully in better wlb companies.
Just want to enjoy, travel to new places and prioritise my health. Balding and weight gain are major issues, and i don't think conditions will be improving in Amazon soon.
BUT, the job market is tough, and IDK how it will impact my career
Is this the right decision or I'm a fool

I feel why not just stick there and let it pass through. Burnout is a part of it. Try to meet up with friends often and join the gym.
From what i understand, he doesn't have much free time so i doubt he can go to a gym. If he's contemplating resigning even in this recession then I think it's also a good assumption that he had been trying to get through this for quite some time now and is unable to anymore
I understand but i genuinely don't believe anyone is so busy that they can't even take out 1 hour to go to a nearby gym. I'm sorry but it's true.
If you have the financial cushion for 6 months and you feel anxiety won't eat you up after putting down papers, then go for it.
I won't give a blanket advice, from end that YOLO or Hustle cuz everyone's circumstances and mental strength is different . Someone who wants to be a CXO vs a freelancer with high paying clients but nomadic life will make decisions differently
But if you can endure the slight anxiety that comes with it + have enough cover then take a break but have an accountability in place. Its easy to lose track of time and goals.
In a similar situation, only thing I am worrying about is lowballing might happen once we come back after break, thousands of applicants for a single opening right now.
I would suggest you to quit your job.. your peace Is more important than anything
