I guess it all just depends on what you value. Personally, I thought I really wanted to find a job in California doing programming. I finally got this job that I thought would be everything that I had dreamed of, and shortly after moving 1500 miles away I really got the chance to learn what I truly valued. I found that it wasn't being in CA, or money or even working for a cool, young company - it was being around the people that mattered to me, my family and friends, my pets back home, the city that I was familiar with. I was very unhappy because I was so far from these things. Talking on the phone and using Skype only reinforced my desire to move back. Being told to just endure it for a year or more only made me wonder why I should need to put myself through something I disliked so much. So, against just about most logical reasoning from a business and resume standpoint, I quit the job and packed up my car and hit the road back east in one day. I don't regret it one bit and am much happier because I made that decision. I did have a job that welcomed me back, though, so this helped. It sounds like your situation is mostly against the company itself, whereas mine had nothing to do with the work, but perhaps this story of mine can help you somehow. :P
