In dilemma

Hi, leave only when your boss hint you to do so on a one to one session. Else just be thick skin and stay till you find your dream job. I can understand how you feel about doing something u hate although I am not in the biotech industry.

I do have sufficient savings to tide myself over for an estimated period of 10-12 months, so it's not really about being financially unstable/stucked.

I'm aware that the logical decision would be to stay in the current position till a job offer. However, I don't feel comfortable with continued interaction with these biological agents. This is the major factor that leads to the dilemma to quit without any job offer. I have asked my friends and most of them urge me to stay till I land a job offer. As such, I would like to know how would strangers advice me on this matter.

With this in mind, what would you advice me ?

hi, i'm sure there are appropriate measures taken by the company and authorities with regards to handling these dangerous materials. however if u need ease of mind then i think you should leave. beats spiraling into depression anytime.

hope u choose wisely. cheers.
