Are we stuck at our qualifying employers?

My original plan was to quit my current job in the nonprofit sector as soon as I qualified for forgiveness, which would have been last month. Although I’m at 120 months of qualifying employment I have no idea when or if my buyback request will be reviewed. Plan B is making the 7 additional payments needed under IBR but my app has just been sitting there “in review” since November.

How risky is it to quit my job right now? I’m assuming it’s a no go unless we really think buyback is a viable option. My mental health is really suffering and I’m not sure how much longer I can hang on at my current job and I’d like to get out of the non profit world altogether and get into something that wouldn’t be qualifying anymore. Feeling so trapped.
