Bad idea to lie here?
So I just finished my first year in banking at a BB in NYC. Got top bucket review and bonus, and just quit with nothing lined up. Honestly the stress was just too much for me, and was effecting me a lot physically and mentally.
To be honest, it was just impossible to recruit, interview prep, and networkwhile on the job. (I did not go to a target so assume will have to network a TON).
I know it was always recommended to just start half-assing work and recruit while working, but I honestly love my team and they are all great people, so I felt really bad just kind of screwing them over, so I did not want to opt to just start giving 50% effort at work.
My question is, would it be possible to still recruit and apply for jobs and still "pretend" I am in banking? I know I made probably a rash and bad decision to quit with nothing lined up, but feel like it will be much harder to get a new gig if I am currently unemployed and will be very difficult to explain to interviewers.
Any thoughts / advice on my situation? Only targeting strategy / corp dev roles , no PE or HF at all.

Don’t ever lie. I am not sure why this is even a question. I have hired people in a similar situation who were candid that they left because of burnout.
