Start getting prepared for something new, but don't quit just yet.

Try and find time for some side projects in areas that you're interested in working on for your next job, and post them to github. Write a blog post or two about the experience. Brush up your linkedin. Update or create a portfolio.

“Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity" - the preparation part is your responsibility.

This is what I've been doing and trying to work on as much of my own stuff as I can while still meeting my work obligations. I spent the past 3 year sacrificing my own projects as well as a lot of my personal life to ensure the success of this company and it's nice to be able to get some of that back.
