This page is full of people who resigned before they had another position lined up and then regretted it. Start your search. Disclose your 3 month notice clause in your second interview if it’s not already asked as part of the screening process. When you have another role lined up, resign acknowledging your 3 month notice period but indicating you will be open to an earlier end date if the organization agrees. A lot of it might depend on the status of long term projects so a one size fits all answer isn’t going th be helpful.

    I think there are very few people on here that resigned with no other job lined up. Very few. I actually did this - close to 20 years ago now - and to this day, I don't regret doing that (but wouldn't advise most people to do the same).

    And I'm curious...were you actually intending to reply to a different post rather than starting your own?

    Not sure where the 3 month notice came from. Normally it is 2 week notice in high tech. Many people do not even give that.
