You're 26 with a skill-set that's in demand and you've worked for a company that will give you some clout moving forward. So you should be fine in that regard. If you're truly passionate about starting your own business, that'll win out in the long run. Don't pressure yourself into making a decision prematurely. Take your time. Maybe write down all the pros and cons for both staying and leaving. At the end of the day, making a well-informed decision is what I'd like to see anyone do in this situation. Living with regrets can be tough and you owe it to yourself to pursue your dreams.
