How soon to quit after promotion?

Recently got promoted. Had to win the backing of lots of people at my firm (from associates to VP) assuring them I would be in for the long haul. They fought for me and I got it.

The thing is ... I don't actually want to be there. How long should I hang around before leaving? I don't have anything lined up at the moment but also don't wish to burn bridges by leaving too soon.

Senior monkeys, appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you.

Sed ipsam eos blanditiis nemo velit. Aut labore mollitia labore cumque delectus. Ipsa eos impedit dolorem quis quia et occaecati.
