It all depends. Before you quit your job, find something that you enjoy doing, such as a certain hobby. If you find a way to turn your hobby into a way to get money (such as selling art) then quit your job. BUT, make sure to keep your regular job for about a week to see how your new job will go. Overall, it's important to enjoy yourself. Have a job that you love.

There is no point in continuing a job that doesn’t interest you anymore. But before you decide to quit consider factors like the effects this would have on your finance and whether you have your hands on another more prospective job. When the job does not offer you growth or causes you more stress, it is better to quit. Though you need to assure yourself that it is not because of an inconspicuous reason or a temporary condition.

No one can answer this for you, but ask yourself why you don't like your job and what you think you need to do to be happy and content. Would that mean a change of careers or taking on a different role on your company, or leaving completely? Everyone is different, so it would be best for you to think about what does make you happy and how you can apply that.

I would stay at your job until you can find a better opportunity. It is sometimes not a good idea to quit without a back up plan. Unless you have finances saved, weigh out your options and see if you can make things better at work before moving on

Throughout our journey to discover what we want from a career, we find ourselves in a stand still. Before considering quiting--ask yourself why don't you like your job. Are you being harrassed? Talk to HR. Are you feeling micromanaged or perhaps experiencing not enough guidance? Then speak with your supervisor. Before making any decisions, ensure you have a plan B, plan C, and a plan D. Exhaust all resources--the next job you get may not be any better...so fix what you can and if that doesn't work, seek alternatives.

continue working for awhile, and search for a new job. if you find something that may interest you more, then you can think about exploring in that direction, but stick with your old job until that happens. you may find you just were going through a tough period within that job and you do like it

Consider what about your job you don't like. A few examples for consideration: Do you need further training? Are you struggling to fit into the office setting? Do you need more challenging work?

Only quit a job when you are assured you have another lined up. Unless you can float for awhile. Its not really good to be unemployed these days and its hard everywhere to find work.

You should have a backup plan first. I recently was in the same situation, and so far I am glad I did it.

You don't like your job, perhaps find something you like doing, and apply to do it maybe keep the job you have until you get there, so you don't struggle with money. I did the same thing, I kept getting panic attacks, so I switched jobs :)
