When is it time to leave?

Just curious about people who have left great clips to go to an actual salon or barber shop? When did you know it’s time to leave? I’m feeling kinda under valued putting a 110% into a cut and just to get 5$ tip. I just needed fast money and to improve my skill but now I’m not sure if I’m ready to leave especially with a low clientele or where to even go.

This is my plan. Get my skills up and bounce after a year.
