I've got to agree with Slice on the whole holding out for Captain. If you walk away now with Zero 121 ME PIC time and decide 1, 5, 10 years from now to get back into the professional flying world you will be right back to square one. If you hang out for just a little while longer you will be able to get back in with a chance of starting at a higher rung.
Also, if you are burned out with 121 flying there is plenty of other jobs out there from fractionals to part 91 that could make you happy. The catch is that you'll need that ME PIC time.
If you didn't like accouning the first time around, what makes you think you'll enjoy it this time? Again I agree with Slice in that you can start part time and see if the buisiness world is really calling you back.
I wouldn't jump ship just yet, but get that resume ready and start the search for when you are sure.
