Yes, logically. Staying at the current job would definitely be the most ideal. Further with the recession is coming. Job search will be even more bleak.

have to account for inflation, 2.5k/mth now means that 10 years later it will be 3k/mth (assume 2% annual), 20 years later it will be 3.7k/mth. if u switch to low stress job, u might end up stressing again because the salary cannot maintain your expenses. also, u won't be able to save up much because u spend most of what u earn. if u are sg citizen, your cpf is locked up until your 60s, and by then u receive a few hundred every month, its enough for jiak cai png lim kopi. but if u are rich man son ah siah kia, then no issue la

right now, u have an extra 1500 per month after expenses, u can save up and invest a portion of it, u may not see the benefits until 20, 30, 40 years later

do u have any side hustles? are u monetizing your hobbies? for eg: if u know how to play an instrument, u can teach for some side income

lastly, what do u want in life? and how do u plan to achieve it? its something to think about

all the best
