I couldn't agree more with this. I'm currently working in a company that builds what could be considered a "boring" product. It's enterprise and thought for big companies. It doesn't have AI, blockchain or anything trendy. However, I love the work we are doing. Instead of using a lot of open-source tools, we develop our own. Even though I'm against this, it allowed me to learn a lot and got me some great experiences and learnings. One piece of advice I can give is to try asking during interviews what are the most interesting projects the interviewers did and why. It will give you a rough idea about what they are doing and if you would enjoy working there. Also, I don't think there is any correlation between career progression and interesting projects. You can grow working on interesting or boring projects. The important thing is what you learned and what you achieved.
