It is a very peculiar feeling that one has during the period that you decide to leave the company and you have not yet left it. I have resigned from my current position about a few days ago and am serving my notice period.
The first question that is asked by everyone to whom you mention about your resignation is "where are you joining?" I have no ready answers, because, for a change, I have decided not to look out for a job. I want to spend the next few months doing just NOTHING. It is perhaps easier said than done, especially for a career professional.
Suddenly, there is a sense of vacuum, not knowing what is the expected role that I will play in the next few days within the company. On the one hand, I am elated at the thought of breaking free (?) and on the other hand, there is the anxiety of not knowing what next to expect.
It is almost the same sensation as when you go bungee jumping and are in the state of free-float. There is the occasional heart-in-the-mouth feeling mixed with the exhilaration of knowing that you are hurtling down.
I wonder what others who have decided to similarly cast away their current jobs feel!
