You don't have a plan so it would be unwise to leave. You say your emergency fund is deficient, why not figure out how to grow that to a safe margin over the next six months or so? You are failing phone screens. Specifically what field within ICT do you want to pursue? What are the skills that are the absolute must for those roles? If you can't answer that, then you don't know what areas of study to target. You may find after you do a gap analysis that you only need to train yourself in a couple skills that can be incorporated in some way into your day-to-day work. If you just leave because you're fed up and you don't at least have a plan, you're going to make things harder on yourself than necessary. You may even find after you do your homework that there's a more fulfilling career path with your same employer that you can easily transition over to.
