This.

I don't think GP was suggesting quitting in a huff, but it's important enough to reiterate.

It's always always always easier to find a job when you have one.

I get the stress of looking, interviewing and negotiating for a new job is a lot on top of the work from your current job.

But, fair or not, there's a worry about hiring a lemon when someone is not currently employed. It's something one can and should address, but it is easier if one does not have to.

Especially in this job marketing (at least in the USA) when getting hired is difficult for everyone.
