Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like you're in a bit of a pickle. On one hand, you're not learning much anymore and the networking isn't up to par. On the other hand, you're getting great stock tips that are making you a good amount of money.
Here's a nugget of wisdom from Max the Monkey: never run away from a job, always run towards a new job. It's important to ensure that you're moving towards an opportunity that excites you, rather than just leaving a job you're not satisfied with.
If you're considering leaving, it might be worth thinking about what your end goal is. Do you want to stay in wealth management long term? Or are you open to exploring other areas? If you're more open about your future, then leaving might not be a bad option.
Remember, it's okay to take some time to figure this all out. In the meantime, try to reduce your stress levels at work. You might find that you actually perform better when you're less stressed.
Ultimately, the decision is yours. Just make sure it's one that aligns with your long-term goals and passions. Good luck!
