@jickky91 of course you can -- you need to work with your employer --- you keep your resignation submitted but effective Only after the end of the year -- Your J-1 terminates once the employer accepts that you are no longer an employee and you have left the country. You have thirty days of stay in the USA after your J termination. . So if you cannot change your day of exiting the country, you have to exit as if you plan to come back i.e. your resignation is not in effect ( even though the employer knows you do plan to terminate. Have no idea if your employer would co-operate -- it is a bit of going on a limb, but the benefit may be worth it.
