Leaving job without offer?
How stupid will it be if I leave my job without an offer.
I have little bit saving to stay unemployed for 2-3 months without liquiding my investments.
I've burned out to a point I feel burdened working and want to take a small break and upskill myself (learn distributed sys, golang and system programming).

If you have reached the burnout stage, just do the bare minimum and wait for them to lay you off. Use this time to interview elsewhere.
I have never tried this. But if you are brave enough to resign,then why not try this.
the layoff will burden me more and Ik it'll break my confidence, I'm already struggling with self doubt lately.
Agree with AnonymousActivist. The advice to wait for the layoff is the most financially and strategically sound move you can make right now.
Quitting now (Voluntary Resignation) immediately forfeits all your post-employment financial safety nets. Being laid off (Involuntary Termination) unlocks crucial benefits. Severance Pay, Unemployment Benefits is money you do not get if you quit.
Burnout is real, no doubt. Mentally check out to manage burnout. Use your remaining time to recover while getting paid. Your goal is to do the minimum required to stay off a formal Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or termination-for-cause. Drastically scale back your work effort. Stop checking emails after hours and on weekends. Limit your tasks to only high-priority, visible items. Stop viewing your job as a burden and start seeing it as a paid funding source for your upcoming break. An impersonal, transactional view is the key to minimizing stress.
You have a great goal (Distributed Systems, Golang, System Programming). Start on your upskilling plan today. Don't wait for the layoff notice to start. Dedicate 1-2 hours per day to structured learning. This will be your "diversion and value add" while also providing an intellectual change of pace from your stressful work duties. In future interviews, saying you were laid off is a universally accepted reason (e.g., "The team was restructured/project was cut"). Saying you quit without an offer is a much more difficult and riskier story to defend.
In short, do not let self-esteem or the feeling of "stupidity" override a solid financial strategy. Retain your position to secure your paycheck, begin your recovery and learning now, and ensure you maximize the funds available for your transition.
Utilise all your leaves first.
To be honest , its a little stupid, but not much when youre at the brink of exhaustion.
Ill suggest shift your 50% priority and time from your work to preparing for interviews, upskilling and learning what you want.
You can staft takig more frequent leaves fpr that too,
Once you bag some decent offer resign asap

So what's the plan sit at home and enjoy at parents money ?
