I guess I'm part of this wave. Just these days I struggle with the decision if I should rather (a) quit my job without having found a new position yet or (b) keep working while applying for new jobs. (I'm located in Germany)
Pros of early quitting:
(1) I'm not learning anything anymore in my current job. The earlier the better...
(2) My current job is subject to 3 months' notice, so I'm definitely free from October onwards
(3) I hope this gives me some extra motivation to work on data science projects in my spare time
Cons of early quitting:
(1) Obviously no income anymore from October onwards unless I have found a new job.
(2) From October onwards, it might be hard to find a new flat as the landlords request to get evidence of a regular income
