    I'm giga bored and moderately not happy with my pay-check, but I'm working towards my degree that can enable me to hopefully move out of my country and my job is flexible enough for me to focus on it and that's the reason why I'm still on the job, if not I would be gone so long. It's so hard though lol

    I am glad you tackled the fact that the tech job market is tough right now, there is no going around it.
    And another thing for those who are here in the comments section, if it takes you more than a month to find a job, it's not a problem at all, keep going at it, you'll make it eventually.

    First, I wanna mention third reason for stayin in the job - joy. I bet prime doesn’t learn much while doing for Netflix, and he delegated this part to strems. And I bet that it’s not hard to find other job paying more, than N. But I’m sure that he enjoys it.
    Second, the general advice for everyone, who had someone relying on you, that don’t quit your job with empty hands. Firstly find new place, and then quit. That could be pretty hard, but leaving with no next place is dangerous not only for the person quitting, but for everyone who relies

    Literally at a bridge today where I need to make a decision of leaving job and investments (stock/option ownership in company) over being happy and doing things I want to do that feel exciting and not answer to other people. Video could not have come up at a more opportune moment. All I can say is, if you stick for the pay, you may be sacrificing your mental health, and at worst you resent it and start to fall behind on deadlines and start feeling like a failure. It's just better to acknowledge that you have to move on sometimes. In my situation I don't have a family to support so money for me - what is it really worth? I've also feel like I've had these thoughts for over a year, that's a year I could have been doing something more worthy of my time. It's okay to exhaust and squeeze the job for the last little bit it has to offer you, but don't get delusional when you are trying to "motivate" yourself ("I am learning so much" copium) through projects that do not inspire you.

    I'm currently thinking about getting a different job. My job is fine, a fair amount of interesting things to do, but I feel like I keep getting held back by the same things every time and it's kind of wearing me out.
    I know I'll eventually get to that point no matter where I work, but a change of pace would be refreshing. The thing that makes me hesitate is that I'm likely going to be offered to work on a different team fairly soon where those things won't bother me.

    Might sound weird but I think the moment you realize your current job becomes your comfort zone is the best indicator it's time to leave, if you still want to level up your career.
    However, if you're fine stagnating, getting your paycheck and calling it a day... if this makes you happy, I wouldn't argue with that.
