So i've been with my current employer for a little over a year now and to be blunt.... i hate it!! The thought of going into work every day distresses me and even after i leave in the evening i'm depressed cause i now i'm back there tomorrow morning! Dont get me wrong, i'm not complaining.... its a good job and a good income but it's not for me. Normally i would leave in a hear beat but me and my boyfriend are in the middle of looking at moving home and i dont want to burden him with this or make him think he has to financially support me until i sort my head out! What would you do? Stay with your current employer until something new shows up or just leave and take it from there?
Thanks.

I understand how you feel, exactly.
It all depends on your situation, though. Yes, you hate it. Can you do without it? Ask yourself these questions. Look at other things like job market, prospects, your experience, putting more stress on you and your BF, etc.
If its better to stay on after weighing the pros and cons, do it for a while more. However, don't stick too long if it really drains you. It will affect you mentally and physically!

It depends how persistent you are at being able to do job searching while at your current job. If you have the motivation/energy to do serious job searching and applications after work and can find some time to sneak away from work to go to interviews ("doctor's appointments?"), then I would wait until you have something lined up before you leave--no point in wasting the income.
However, if you know you're the type of person who won't be motivated to do a job search when the income is still coming in (or just don't have the time), I would quit so that you force yourself to make progress; otherwise you'll keep telling yourself that you'll "start looking soon" but never actually do it.

Don't just sit around waiting for "something to show up" - go out and look for another job. And it's not a good idea to quit your current job without having something else lined up.

If you are unhappy... look elsewhere! But do not leave until you find something else. Do not settle for any job because if you do you will be right back in the same boat you are in now. Find the right job for you and I promise you will be less stressed.

Nope, but get something lined up really quick. Once I got something lined up, in my case, my outlook got much better. I was happier because I could face my current job knowing that it would be over soon. Good luck.

I would stay until I have something else lined up....I am in the same position but you have to try and just be thankful that you are employed at a decent job.....

Stay there until you find something else, I left my job a year ago, and still looking for work

Only if you have another job lined up.
Good luck.
