I am curious if you will find any useful advice here. I mean, there is some great advice in this thread, but it's really hard for anyone who isn't you to help in this situation.

Here are some questions you should ask yourself that might be helpful:

- If you were laid off tomorrow what would you do?

- What are some things you would LOVE to do? What would it take to accomplish the things on this list?

- What are your minimum long term financial goals? The idea here being that, depending on the minimal lifestyle you are comfortable with, you would need to stay at your current job (and invest wisely) for X years. It might make the current job much more enjoyable if you know that in X years you will have 100% of your time available for projects of your choice without financial consideration.

- Are there ways to satisfy what is missing AND keep the job? For example, starting something as a side project, even if you can't devote full time to it. You can always decide in the future if you need to pursue it. (ie: don't force an all or nothing decision when you don't have to)
