Do you have any other experience (jobs from when you were in college) to be sure this is a problem unique to the job?

If you're in the Bay Area (or maybe NYC): Once you decide to quit, you should feel a lot better -- then take a couple days off to rest, find some worthwhile companies to talk to, etc. You should have interviews and a job within a week, which could be explained as "the flu".

If you're not in a hot startup job market, you either want to relocate before looking, or find a new job first. I do not think I'd quit my job in Indiana before having a new job in Indiana assuming I wouldn't leave Indiana. Sorry :(

I did an internship company and that was an incredible experience. I didn't get asked to come back for a full time position. It could be that that job was just awesome and this is how normal jobs are. However, coming from a person who has made up for not being smart by working at problems a lot, it is kind of concerning for me to see myself getting bored and ready to leave work as soon as possible.

Yes, I am in a hot startup job market enough to get a couple of linkedin recruiter cold calls every 3 days. Having said that, I am smart enough to know that a non-tech recruiter identifying keywords in your resume don't necessarily make one in high demand.
