Confused about Resigning? Here's a Checklist to Help You Prepare Mentally and Financially

Kapanlagi.com - An ideal workload, a toxic work environment, or wanting to upgrade oneself by seeking new challenges can be a series of reasons that make someone consider resigning from their current job. But don't rush into making decisions. It's really important to prepare various backup plans so that the resignation process can go smoothly, free from obstacles that will only cause regret.

Planning to resign in the near future? First, check some mandatory checklists to be more mentally and financially prepared. What are they?

1. New Job, Already Have or Still Looking First?

If your current job feels unsuitable, you have to work overtime almost every day, or your salary hasn't been increasing for years, usually the desire to resign will come strongly. It's not uncommon to make you want to submit a resignation letter as soon as possible. But, don't be emotional first!

The first checklist that must be fulfilled is a new job. Do you already have this point, or are you still waiting? If you haven't received an offering from another place yet, try starting to look for one now. Give yourself time to start getting a job before resigning. This is clearly important because you still have living needs that need to be financed when you have resigned later. Instead of regretting, it's better to prepare now.

2. If You Don't Have a New Job Yet, You Can Try Freelancing First

Have you been trying to find a replacement job, but still haven't found one that sticks? Holding on for longer can increase stress levels. Well, if this is the case, maybe you can consider trying to find freelance jobs first.

With the skills you have, temporary freelance work can help maintain your cash flow so it doesn't go too negative. But, be prepared because the income you earn may not be as much as a full-time job. So, it's important to adjust your lifestyle if you really want to resign as soon as possible.

3. Upgrade Your Skills by Taking Online Courses Can Be a Plus

If you already have plans to resign, it's best to prepare yourself a few months in advance. In addition to actively searching for a new job, you can also start upgrading your skills by taking online courses.

This can be an asset when looking for a new job. With a diverse set of skills on your CV, you can challenge yourself to find higher-level jobs or even switch to a new field. This way, your opportunities for growth will also be greater.

4. Check Financial Condition as a Mandatory Checklist

In addition to preparing mentally and skillfully with various programs to upgrade yourself, don't forget to check your financial condition. However, every change that occurs will definitely affect your financial condition. Especially for those of you who have not yet found a replacement job.

For those who have not yet found a new job, make sure you have prepared funds to finance your living expenses and monthly bills for the next few months. Remember, create a separate storage position from your savings so as not to further disrupt your financial condition.

You can start preparing by calculating the monthly living expenses that you usually incur, such as various bill payments and other monthly needs. After that, prepare sufficient funds for these various needs for the next few months.

Fortunately, now managing and monitoring daily transactions can be easier by utilizing various features in the DANA application.
