I have another situation/context with the verb "learn":

If I quit my job 3 months ago, now I meet my friends and say:

What I learned/have learned from quitting my job is that doing what you like is the happiest thing in your life.

I think that both are good to use. Right?

I would like to hear from both BrE and AmE.

As a British English speaker, I would use have learned because the learning has been going on during those three months. American usage may be different.

As an American English speaker, either one sounds natural to me. have learned puts the emphasis on my situation now; learned puts the emphasis on what happened then.
