A little over a year ago I left a job because I noticed it was causing me increasing amounts of stress. It was nobody's fault in particular but that's just how things were. The evening after I told my boss I would be leaving the company I was dancing almost uncontrollably (and I'm no dancer).

That said, leaving without a good plan had left me in a very awkward position for finding new employment. Generally speaking people are more likely to hire you if they don't consider you unemployed (so either working, studying or similar). I Also didn't really know how to show off my capabilities, so recruiters would often low-ball me.

Luckily I'd left on good terms and some work from my previous employer still came my way while I was searching.

So my advice is: leave if you want, it can be really good for you, but make a plan, and do not burn any bridges.
