I was in a similar spot almost two years ago. I actually didn&#x27;t mind the work that I did, but it just became rather dull.<p>So I quit and traveled. It does seem like traveling is the &quot;default&quot; thing to do to cure one&#x27;s ennui. What I can say is that being in a new locale doesn&#x27;t magically give you newfound motivation&#x2F;inspiration etc, and depending on your personality it can be quite isolating.<p>Over the years I&#x27;ve kept a list of things I&#x27;d like to build if I ever found the time. Now I&#x27;m just going down the list and seeing what sticks.<p>The way I see it, if you really do <i>hate</i> your job then quitting is simply a matter of time - better sooner rather than later, for both you and your employer.
