Everything is too much for you, you would prefer to quit your job and not hear or see anyone anymore.
Caution: Do not make hasty decisions.
The technology fails and gets on your nerves because nothing works as it should.
You should actually be much further along with your work, the deadline pressure is stressing you out.
At the same time, your boss already has the next task for you.
The job frustration has been building up for you for weeks or months and you would like to quit.
But you shouldn't make this decision hastily - it's better to ask yourself a few questions and make a plan before you write your resignation.

A study by

Many employees are dissatisfied with their jobs for a variety of reasons.
The thought of wanting to give up everything now often comes insidiously.
Several factors can, as the saying goes, break the camel's back.

Reasons for Termination
Frustration: You are dissatisfied with your job and have no hope that this will improve.
Loss of control: You cannot change your situation at work on your own.
That makes you helpless.
Salary: You are paid too little for your work.
During possible salary negotiations, you could not agree on a salary increase.
When you start a new job, you hope for a higher starting salary.
Career option: You want to take on more responsibility, but you are passed over for a promotion.

Five questions to ask yourself before resigning
The temptation to make an impulsive exit and loudly explain your resignation to the boss can be great when you are frustrated.
However, it is not advisable that you vent your anger in this way.
In the rarest of cases, you can resign directly and turn your back on the company.
You have a notice period – so you may be working there for weeks or even months.
You can also regret skipping actions - so better weigh up, reflect and then make important decisions.

Reasons for leaving: Think carefully about why you don't feel good about your job.
There can be stressful phases, trouble with colleagues or discussions with managers in all jobs.
Is dismissal the last resort?
Ask yourself whether you have sought talks with your boss.
Have you taken any steps to make your current job feel better?
What is your goal?
Ask yourself what you want to achieve - only if you have a firm goal and know what you want or don't want in your job do you have a chance to improve yourself for a job change.
What consequences can you take on yourself?
Ask yourself what you would like to accept for your possible job change.
Unemployment or a general step backwards in your career are possible.
Can you financially absorb a transition phase?
Think about the timing: keep an eye on your notice period and an eye on the job market.
Make up your mind and find out about your prospects first.
It may make sense to stay in your old job for a few more months.
