Navigating Job Search Stress After 5 Years in a High-Pressure Role

I am currently job searching after spending 5 years at my first corporate job post-college. I started as an associate and have taken on manager-level responsibilities while still receiving associate pay. The stress has become overwhelming; I experience daily headaches and feel like I'm becoming less efficient. Our team is small, just four of us handling everything, which adds to the pressure. I’m really burnt out and ready to move on, but I’m apprehensive about finding a new job that might be just as stressful. I wonder if it’s normal to feel this way and if it’s selfish to want a job that doesn’t come with constant headaches and grinding my teeth from stress. Any advice on how to gauge the work environment before jumping into a new role would be appreciated.
