I have but if I'd much rather have a job that's not so much fun than to have no job at all. I'm worried that I will quit and not find another one or my employer will find out that I'm job searching and fire me. This is my first "real" job so I don't know if all jobs are the same in this regard. I sort of want to change but if I change after a year I'm not sure that other employers will get the impression that I'm job hopping. I guess it's mostly a salary thing; if I wasn't paid on the very low end I wouldn't care as much about it being not a good fit as long as I'm doing ok. |

I worked for a number of years in my first tech job that made me increasingly anxious. At the same time, I believed that I was completely uncompetitive as a candidate, and that leaving was professional suicide.
Last year, the situation came to a climax and I left the company without any plans for the future. After decompressing for a few months, I started looking for work again, and was very surprised that only a bit of study and preparation (as a non-CS grad, mind you) got me a number of offers from a range of software companies. Every offer I got was better than what I was getting at the company I had left.
Just an anecdote, but I don't think it's that unusual, especially for people early on in their software careers.
