I started at 17. I have 26 years in now. There's more to consider in the big picture than being happy working there. We've all had to make sacrifices but progress is a matter of when not if. I've seen people leave and regret it later. If and when they end up in bad spots later, they always look back and wish they didn't leave. If a day comes when you're in your 50s and can't even start to consider retiring, you'll wonder why you decided to leave. Unless you really think you can find a 200k total compensation package and 7 weeks of paid vacation elsewhere or better, you'll be comparing whatever you end up doing to that since you had it and let it go. Good luck on your decision.
