@tyler-mills, both bounties are over.

At the time of writing, the idea saying to keep your job (#3638) has 4 pending criticisms.

The idea saying to quit and do research (#3639) has no pending criticisms.

So at this moment, the rational choice would be to quit your job. Hope this brings you some clarity.
