Hate my job - I work for a great firm, I earn well and I know a lot of people would kill to be in my position but I hate the travel/poor WLB and I want to get a fully remote job that's lower stress. How soon is too soon to leave? I'm at the 4 month mark, should I wait another 8 months or wait till the market stabilizes a bit?

No rules anymore. Those additional 8 months of misery will be trivial long term (assuming you don't make a habit of short stints).

Thank you

If you really hate it and don’t think you will benefit other than financially from the job then maybe leave now but if you like people and travel somewhat than stay till 1 year

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...
