At the end of the day it just depend on how much(salary) you think you can live with while maintaining the so called "work-life balance".
Even if you're underpaid and enjoying your day-to-day, no harm in looking out other opportunities befits your talents just as long as you can sacrifice something(your current state) for it.

Thank you very much

Actually for admin, the job is quite stagnant and there is limitation in career progression.
2.8k @ 24 y/o on admin job actually is quite high already leh.

What's your interest like after doing admin job?

And why resign before get new offer

From a hiring point of view, I would be wary of hiring you specifically because you seem to have spent little time in a single role before quitting. Experience is crucial for fresh grads as well as employees with less than 2 years of work experience. So when you mentioned quitting in less than a year merely because you didn't see any room for improvement/learning, it indicates lack of patience and loyalty hence you're probably only going to last 8-9 months with me.

Not saying job-hopping is bad, because it's the most efficient way to increase your income. However, the risk you are taking here is that recruiters/HR departments are looking at the dates in your resumes and thinking of the worst case scenario. To be successful in job-hopping, you need to have professional connections and network with recruiters and other HR personnel. Unless you can figure out a way to express the reasons you quit in a clear and concise way that will not jeopardize your chances in a new position, then you shouldn't have quit before securing another offer.

Please enlighten us as to what industry/field you are aspiring to be in. What is your long term career goal? Any interests at all?

Totally agree
