Need to log off after 6pm

Extremely burned out after 2 years at a horrifyingly toxic group and don’t think I’ve recovered from that. Started a role at a PE fund and realized this isn’t what I want to do.

At what point would it be appropriate to start looking elsewhere and recruit? Should I even stay on for the full 2 years? Should I just coast while looking for a corporate role?
