If your new job gave you a start date for 2 months from now, would you quit your current job to have a 2 month break?

Hypothetical situation. If I do get this job, with a school, I'd like to quit my current, to have time off before school actually starts...

Again, hypothetical...I'd also want to get something in writing if I can that says of a future start date.

***hypothetical..

It's best to keep your job to when the new one starts, you will thank yourself with the steady income. Also be sure to give a two week notice so you don't burn your bridges with your current job.

@NativeOregonian right, I've been working 5 months with no break. I've had 2 days off since then, not including my normal weekends. The income part doesn't matter. I have savings and live in the family house so I won't have to worry. I'd also give a 2 week notice.

@iamnikki I've done many months, and years, with hardly a day off, so I know what that is like. Even though you do have savings, you would be very surprised how fast those can go, specially if an emergency comes up that could wipe out that account. It is always best to be safe than sorry.

@iamnikki I will give you a realistic example. I am guessing it is summer where you live and a/c is needed. Now imagine the unit goes down and either needs repair, or replaced, and your parent's home owner's insurance no longer covers it due to its age. Air cons are expensive to replace, let alone repair, so it is best to keep working.

I'd keep working, and give my current employer at least two weeks notice before leaving.

@VeronicaPrincess oh yea, I'd give a two week notice. Just be nice to have 2 months off.

Why so hypothetical?

@FloorGenAdm because people love telling you what to do online. Hypothetical because it is a possibility, that I get the job, and can do the above

@Psycho nice. We actually already have new people coming in. So many have quit/transferred already. My current job really sucks.
