Sadly, outside of early stage startups, most engineering jobs are a lot of boring work. Now and then, you'll have a super interesting project, but in my experience it's pretty rare. If you like the company, perhaps see if you can transfer to another team / department. I did that once and it bought some more time.

- streakofred 3y agoTrying to transfer seems like the right thing to do before jumping ship. > Sadly, outside of early stage startups, most engineering jobs are a lot of boring work. Yeah, I hear you. I would like to imagine that I'd be willing to accept some fraction of boring work, if there are some cool tasks to balance it out.
