I havent read all the responses.... but i'd suggest you look at a couple books.. One called Quitter, by Jon Acuff. I started reading this last night. And the very first chapter to getting your dream job or better job, talks about DO NOT QUIT your day job. Second is 48 Days to the Work you love (Miller).
Why? You leave a mundane job with a poor boss to a much worse boss. Their called Bills. Bills dont go away, they pile up. Spouses get upset when your not working, and bills are piling up, and you get another boss. Your spouse. When your at home watching TV after a work day, no big deal. But if your watching TV when your not working, your being flat out lazy and not trying to find a job. Momentum and perception change. Plus, if you have no job, bills are piling up, you HAVE to take whatever that new job opportunity is, vs being able to say "No". Or negotiate.
So find that new job, but dont risk that day job until you've got it. Or else you'll have a whole new set of problems that you just traded for.
Just my 2c.
