. . .not yet. ..though I have wanted to @ times. ..
all depends how miserable you are now. . .and your current circumstances.
Some important things to be concerned with are:
1. Do you have a place to live? If you don't have to worry about paying rent/mortgage. ..that is a good advantage (so you are living with your parents. ..who cares. ..
)2. Health insurance. ..if you need insurance don't. ..even though you can get COBRA and it is cheaper then buying it directly it is still pretty expensive. . .
If you must leave. . . @ the very least sign up with a good temp agency, so that you will have income coming in while (as) you look for something better . . .
good luck!

Yes.
Another reason to have at least 6 months living expenses put away.
When you decide you've had enough, you can walk away and make new plans with no pressures.

Thanks to all.
I can coast for a good long while, but it will mean an upgrade or three that my building may not see during my tenure.
Freescotland tuned in best on my situation . . . some sort of temp/agency work should not be hard to find at all, although I've gotten used to a 10-block commute.
I have no idea what it would take though to get me to make the decision. I wouldn't do it in a fit of rage, or on a horrible day.

I haven't quit without a job already lined up, but that probably is related to having two kids to support.
It helps being in the healthcare field, I could find four jobs tomorrow if I felt like it.
I get recruiters calling every two weeks or so.

Man, I really must've made an impression on you...
I'm like a celebrity spokesman for bad life choices.
