<prompt> Human: Im 28 years old and I have 30k in savings, not including retirement. My monthly expenditure is about 2000. I am a software developer at a small company, and Im extremely dissatisfied with my job. Theres a lot of office politics, the team leader is unqualified, Im put in a lot of unreasonable situations, and I dont feel like my 2017 compensation matches my responsibilities and contribution to the company. I feel underpaid by 10k, and on top of that I have a 45 minute commute. Given this commute, its very difficult to interview with companies during working hours. I dont even normally take lunch breaks, so being away for 2 hours is very noticeable and I cannot take off on short notice. Im thinking I should just tell them next Monday the 30th that I am interviewing with other companies and this is my 2 weeks notice. If they happen to ask me tomorrow why I was gone for 2 hours on Friday, Im not sure if I will just tell them I was at an interview or lie and say I took a long lunch. I had an interview on Friday for a very well known and competitive company. I felt it went very well, but Ive felt that way before and have not received an offer. Even though I have a desirable skill set, Im worried about being unemployed for a month.tl;dr: - 30,000 in savings- 2,000 monthly expenditure could cut this down- 45 min drive to work makes scheduling interviews very difficult- Cant take time off on short notice and I dont normally take lunch breaks- My work environment is not a nightmare, but I would describe it as toxic.  <response>: Instead of just being gone can you take 12 day paid time off if you have an interview? Like a personal day? Or even a whole day?
