仕事を辞めるか辞めないかは留学することによって違います。
訳す
Whether I quit my job or not depends on if I study abroad.
I don’t know. Feels like maybe I can’t quite use this construction in this way. Maybe someone else knows better than me.

Hi!
It does sound a bit strange to me, though I’m still a パダワン, maybe not young, but still a パダワン. I also feel that this construction is not the proper one to convey the meaning of your sentence.
Maybe it is the “留学すること” part, which might be replaced by a noun that expresses the same thing? 仕事を辞めるか辞めないかは" could be simplified to “仕事を辞めるかどうか” as well.
Or it could be that this “depends on” is not one associated to a decision based on a situation that might or might not happen but to an “entity” (person, location, season, quality, opinion,…) as it requires a noun before によって. とにかく, let the 先生 speak!
HTH!

This sounds super helpful! I only just got here, but I’ll try to come back every day.
それのオーブン、クッキーに入れました。
I haven’t actually gotten to に yet and I’m never sure if I’m actually using it right, but I also don’t have it in me to make up sentences from whole cloth (vs “hi this is what I did this week”) so any notes would be helpful. Grammar’s definitely my weakest point…
