If you feel like you are no longer learning or growing then you should probably look at moving, especially if pay and benefits are below average. At least start a slow search to see if there is someplace worth moving to. And since you aren’t miserable and are actively employed, you can move on your terms. I wouldn’t worry about perception, especially in software. Moving after 6 months multiple times would be bad, but moving a few times in your first four or five years isn’t a big deal. I think the opposite actually applies in software, staying at someplace too long can be seen as a red flag if it’s not a top notch company using cutting edge tech. The real risk though is leaving a good company culture with good management and a good team. Places with both are probably fewer and farther between then you would imagine. You may find better pay working on cutting edge tech with awful management and egotistically, unhelpful teammates, especially at some hyper growth companies. The answer depends on what you want and it sounds like more interesting work is important. If there is no way to get your ‘simplistic’ work done and do interesting stuff on your own or helping another team, then moving is probably worth it. I do wonder though if the place is so great and your coworkers so talented, why is the work so simplistic? Is it a lifestyle company or are you missing something without the experience to know? In any event, think about what you want, take your time and do research if you choose to move, and best of luck in your career.
