Career counselor Simon Ingari recently shared insights on the risks of quitting a job without another offer. He emphasizes that employers often view currently employed candidates as more dependable, which can significantly affect hiring decisions. Job searching while unemployed may take longer, as it can create a perception of being less committed.
