Will you ever bite the bullet, quit without a job and then go out to hunt for a new career?

I ask because you are drawing a comfortable pay, and to get the same pay in the private sector, you need to have at least a few years of experience in what they are hiring you for. I was in the exact situation a few years ago and till date, still can't find anything that gives me the reason to move from my comfort zone.

I think for a case like this, enduring low salary for at least 2 years or so seems to be the way to go. I didn't dare to take the plunge...
