You don’t have to settle for this shit. The unemployment rate is still very low and we are going into a demographic crunch where all the boomers are leaving the workforce. You sound like you don’t have a better idea or calling. Does nothing interest you? Go build new skills, find a side project in the direction of your higher goal and work on that. I went years being underutilized. Then I learned to get a life and create some side activities to channel my creative energy. I run two newsletters, an annual summit and a YouTube channel. I use those to constantly meet people and keep learning. Participate. Why stop interviewing? These people (your job) don’t give a crap about you. This is just the floor. Your basic needs are met. Now find a company that meets the rest of your needs. I quit my underutilized boring tech job to do a startup. I work all the god damned time and have several jobs. I would not go back. All we have in life is time. After four years of bad managers and bad environments I just no longer cared. I ripped the bandaid off.
