STAY where you are. Money is freedom, accumulate until you reach escape velocity.

You can sharpen your programming sword on your own time. It's nice when job and personal interests align, but if your workplace is non-toxic and paying well, consider very carefully before letting it go.

You may be able to find ways to learn and grow on company time as well. Make your own tooling to help analyze that data, whatever.

This is the current plan. I'm just wondering when to stop?

Very true. I'm just afraid it's trending towards a toxic situation for me, because with my current mindset it will be hard to actually reach goals, setting me up for failure.
