Understand why you don’t like the job, and see if there is anything that can be changed. Make a plan for your future, including what you want to do with your career and what your long-term goals are. Start taking steps—however small—toward making these goals a reality. Develop any skills that can be gained from the current position, and exercise caution when considering an exit strategy - some short-term pain might be part of making the smartest career decision. Focus on maintaining mental and physical health despite being in a difficult situation at work
