I implore all of you to stop wasting your life interviewing. Spend your time more productively.
It also give you data points on your market worth, which is highly valuable even if you don't switch jobs.
And you can't quit your job to live minimally if you have zero or less net worth. Expenses only go so low.
Saying it's "easy to be free" is massively condescending to every person that struggles to get over the poverty line. Not everyone can just "get" gigs whenever they want.
No trust fund.
No connections.
No leg up.
Yes you can do it. Excuses galore though.
It's not easy, and most people can't just quit their job right now, or within a month or two.
