In most cases, it is better to search for your next job while holding on to your current job, even though it might be a difficult position to be in. First, having that all important income will be one less stressor during the new job search. Second, when you seek a new job while currently employed, it can make you look more attractive to potential employers likely to see you as ambitious and driven instead of desperate. Third, staying in your current position gives you the opportunity to find the perfect fit for your next job, making sure that you make the most of the transition rather than landing in yet another job that isn’t a strong match for your skills, personality or career goals.
