Been considering leaving my job for quite a while but seeing the feedback here about the job market is scaring me. I am not sure which is worse staying and just feeling like i have no soul or be unemployed for who knows how long. I have never been jobless before so it is terrifying to not know when the next paycheck is coming.

Coming here to seek some encouragement and motivation to push through another year until the next round of bonus (at least)...YR2027 (crawling)

Which is a better option and challenge for product and service based? I find product business might be better compared to service because there is less man hours involved if you can successfully sell off compared to service. Correct me if i am wrong or right..

will you immediately go into panic crisis mode and start looking or take a few months before searching for job? Personally i have 11 months of my take home salary saved up just in case.

Also curious does it depend on the different malls? Curious to know how much is the rental like? What about those rental at the recent ARTBOX/Public garden events? Any idea what is the rental fee?

So recently i opened my brokerage app and saw that i can lock in some gains. Currently don't have any huge expenses ATM. My monthly expenses can be covered by my salary so is it a good idea if i take some out and keep as profit?

If i take out i don't have any real need or things to buy but yet if i leave it, i scared that it might miss it and the stock price might drop. FYI this is not a speculative stock so foundation is quite solid.

Tldr: Should i cash out my profit or continue to hold for potential higher gains?
