Getting too big for my britches, and thinking that recruiter emails = job offers. I quit a lucrative junior position that had just promoted me to mid level thinking I would have multiple big offers lined up immediately. After 6 months of desperately interviewing and going broke I ended up somewhere I could work my way back up, but I learned the hard way to never quit a job without another offer letter signed.
