First of all, take a weekend, go to some state park within easy driving distance of San Francisco, and spend the weekend hiking around the mountains by yourself. Have this question in the back of your mind, but don't deliberately dwell on it.

When you get back, flip a coin: heads you stay, tails you move on. You have your hand over the coin and are about to remove your hand... and in your gut, there will be a split second where you can sense your hope for either heads or tails.

Then ignore the actual coin toss, and do what your gut told you.

If it were me, I'd look for another job, but YMMV.

You know, we actually went away for a long weekend recently and talked about this very thing but couldn't come up with a decision.

I like the coin toss idea, I'm going to try it tonight!

Why exactly would you look for another job?

[impendia]

You describe your job as easy, and that you've stopped learning new things already. For me, that would be a dealbreaker.

I personally quit a job that was at least sort of along the lines you described, to go to graduate school. I'm now a math professor. Best decision of my life.

That said, if it were me, I would look carefully before leaping (which I'm guessing you've done thoroughly already).

Good luck!
