Analyst here who feels like they have no time to recruit for opportunities, let alone be prepared for interviews. Any thoughts on quitting to focus completely on recruiting? Looking to exit finance completely likely

Career Resources
I basically just posted an identical thread here. Glad to know I'm not alone. This job blows but I don't know how to go about next steps.
I gave my 2 weeks notice 16 days ago (funnily enough LinkedIn suggested me to apply to the Analyst posting my bank created last week to replace my departure LOL), because I just didn't have enough time to conduct proper research on industries & companies I'm interested in. I want to leave banking&finance too. Don't expect to find a job days after you quit, it takes some time, so it is good to have some savings to eat in in the meanwhile.
appreciate it and congrats on leaving haha. I should be in your shoes soon. What's your strategy if you dont mind for finding the next right opportunity?
I brainstormed to discover what my passions are. For me, it was sports. I was never extremely good at it but I enjoy watching it a lot. Did some research for the business side of sports (the area is huge: athlete management, sponsorship management, e-sports, management of clubs, etc.). Utilized LinkedIn to find Alum working in the space. Networked with them and now got into the process of 2 firms. As I said, it is a slow process don't expect to get a job overnight.
What are you hoping to transition to?
sports industry (not as an athlete, on the business side haha)
