Worth quitting job and risk having a gap in resume/cv?
I'm currently working for a seemingly great company. However I don't really feel challenged, often bored with the work I get and sometimes even flat out don't have any work to do. I'm already planning on quitting this job in a few months in order to begin studying my masters degree.
Since I was little, I was told that a gap in my resume/cv is a really bad thing if I want to get hired, but how bad is it actually? Is quitting now, when I only have to do a few more months, worth the gap? Or is it best to just suck it up and stay until I start studying again?
I don't feel like I'd be able to get a new job for the time between now and the start of the new semester because I'll be moving when the semester starts.
