Quitting banking job /u/big_clout CSCQ protests reddit

1 YOE here, currently considering leaving my banking job to go back to school because my job is super toxic and I cannot remember the last time I felt happy.

Few points:

  • my manager doesn’t really know what our application does
  • management loves to spout how we are adopting new tech, but I am not on one of those teams
  • my two coworkers are 45+ and allergic to learning new tech. They openly state that they dgaf if they are laid off, and if necessary they can just find another job easily because the whole industry is incestuous with people hopping back and forth between companies, and they know a ton of people in the industry. This is true because business people only care that the developers they work with know the systems and formats that they use (for example, Bloomberg, Swift MTxxx). They are both lifers in banks.
  • layoffs & offshoring to India
    • when I started working, we had 8 people on the team, now have only 3
  • I had to figure out how to do the following on my own:
    • building a REST API (nobody on my team knew how to build one, I had to learn it myself)
    • configuring CI/CD pipelines (as of today, I am still the only one on the team who knows)
    • integrating application performance monitoring tools (as of today, I am still the only one on the team who knows)
    • integrating the firm’s security framework into our application (as of today, I am still the only one on the team who knows)

Currently have ~200k NW, early 20s. Should I wait until I have 2 YOE to dip?
