Futures & Options

Hi,

I need some feedback and opinion on what to do! Any comment is greatly appreciated!

Current circumstance:
1. Job with good pay, leave entitlement & bonus
2. Regular working hours
3. 3 months notice period
4. Eager to change job scope (required to wait a year more before possibility of internal transfer)

Future aspiration:
1. Move into corporate finance
2. Develop technical skills and acquire better industry knowledge

Options:
1. Leave job without a new job awaiting and self-study and possibly attend IB training with work attachments
2. Leave job without a new job awaiting and self-study while networking aggressively
3. Stay on job, continue to self-study and network till found a new job (caveats: being associated too much with a job I don't find challenging, turning off prospective employers due to long notice period, it will take me longer to upgrade my skills as I will still be working full time)

Thanks!
