The thing is if you don't quit then there is going to be another post about regretting not quitting.

I have gone past the age to feel strongly regret to any choice I made. As long as I made a desicive choice without much delay I'm good with it (of course unless something really bad happens), because I know I'd regret if I choose the other way (or not), anyway.

as much as I dislike the 'the grass is always greener...' cliche, it's fundamentally true. :)

Left a low-paying, stable, very boring non-software engineering job. Working in tech now, good money, but man do I wish for those "boring" days sometimes. It's meetings and craziness every day now, always having to prove myself vs. being a stable cog in a machine. Overall I find that the added money is commensurate with the added stress / life burden.
