What does your side project offer you that your job doesn't? Is it the potential to become famous/rich/successful that excites you? Do you want to change the world with an innovative product? Do you prefer working autonomously? Is the technology stack more up your alley or do you enjoy the technical challenge more? I think it's important that you understand why your personal project brings you more enjoyment than your job. One note, if it's riches and success that you're after, and I'm not saying that it is, then I'm of the opinion that you will never find peace in what you do. Good luck :)
