quit my gov job today, now what?

as per title - have been very unhappy, sad even for the past few months. constantly up late (to my health + relationships detriment) trying to finish work in hopes of a promotion, only to be constantly berated by management. The new boss who came in has no reprieve but the team seems ok w the new rhythm.

I absolutely know this is the DUMBEST decision I can make, but I choose myself and I cannot see myself suffer another 6 months, if I need to consider rotation. I have around 2 years buffer thanks to bonus but I intend to start looking immediately. My skillsets are rather generic - writing, managing stakeholders, delivering projects but realising am maybe not so good at managing bosses (ya I know everywhere also need to manage so u tell me this also no use). I also pivoted once in my career alr and going from very good recent ratings (up for potential promotion) to nothingness (cannot stand new management) in the next few months makes it all v pitiful - but anyone with any advice who gone against the grain and still made it thru, and possibly what sectors / roles may be suitable, will be helpful. Thanks a lot folks.

Financial commitments: housing loan about 1.2K/month with CPF, to also pay parents allowance & insurance costs + special occasion meals, which I have buffered - but I cannot stop working in case of any mishaps cuz they’re old. DINK. 7 YOE.

How do you answer your children next time when they ask you why you never buy clip toe, Nvidia, etc?

Just like how gen x, milineals and genz hate boomers so much when they go chip chip about hdb prices
