What is the mkt rate now?
Can I still ask for increment (how much) in new role? Or should I lower my expected salary (by how much)?
Thanks.
First of all, what is your age ? If you are in your mid 30s onwards, always secure a job before you quit. Or else be prepared to face the stress of having no income and no interviews at the same time.

Ask anyone here how it feels to slack at home basically with no incoming funds and the anxieties of waiting for an interview phone call that seems to take forever.

If I were the Interviewer, I will be sceptical about a jobless candidate's answer for having to quit without a job.
