I did something very similar. Quit PhD during the pandemic, no regrets. Shortly after that I joined some big name company, but the whole thing was a mess as everyone was WFH so I quit that too. Then I joined a 4 person startup and it's the best job I ever had.
I think dropping out twice in a row isn't a risk many would take, but for me it worked out perfectly.

Didn't renew a lucrative contract job in 2011 that would have had me overseeing 200 franchises all across Canada to instead work full time on my own business.
