By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

    All great advice, but I’m curious why you say you should leave on decent terms? As long as you don’t get fired, what’s wrong with being candid in an exit interview and potentially ruffling feathers by saying what you couldn’t before?

      So this is definitely something that varies depending on your situation.

      Depending on what country/state you live in, you may or may not have good employment laws protecting you.

      On top of that, if you leave on solid terms, your former employer might put in an extra good word for you to your next one. I’ve even had one who offered to write a personal recommendation letter for my next employer.

      It depends a lot on how much you are willing/able to play the game, and what the laws are in your region, and the nature of your employment type.

      Leave on such good terms that you can use them as references and don’t have to fear them bad mouthing your skills.
