Not a joke. I'm still a student, like half a year away from finishing my masters, so switching jobs at this point feels bit risky/early? Maybe im wrong though

I don't think they meant "quit your job", just "be on the lookout for another".

If your current job is unstable because nobody there knows what they're doing, it's good to have a fallback.

Halve is a verb, half is the noun you were looking for.
