Here’s a better strategy:

•	If you are having problems at work that can be fixed, commit to yourself that you’ll exhaust every reasonable effort to resolve them BEFORE placing yourself on the market.
•	When you receive an offer from a company where you want to work, consider it carefully. When you decide to accept, promise yourself you’ll resign and report to work with proper notice.
•	When it’s time to resign, make the commitment that you will do so respectfully and decisively, and that you will neither entertain nor accept a Counter Offer.

By keeping these commitments to yourself, you’ll accelerate your career and enjoy the respect of past and future employers.
