Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice from more seasoned developers out there. I've been in the industry for about 10 years, mostly at a small company where I picked up some useful skills with SQL, PHP, HTML, and a bit of Objective Pascal. I eventually moved on to a higher-paying job, which has a good salary and a great team, but the work is dull. We're mainly just maintaining one system using SQL and Objective Pascal, and after two years, I feel like my professional growth has stagnated. I'm often tired and burnt out. So my question is: Is it worth staying in a well-paying job that doesn't challenge me or contribute to my development? Appreciate any insights!

Honestly, I wouldn’t stay. You’re in this for the long haul, and burning out this early can be harmful. Use your current job as a cushion to find a better one, and jump ship once you find it!
I think it's fine to stay for now while you look for something better. Just take your time and be selective about your next move.
Thanks for your input! I'm planning to start job hunting after summer.
