All I’m going to say is that I’m all for free speech and setting fair rules for everyone to play by (ie regulation), but looking at the examples provided in the buzzfeed articles this is beyond simple free speech. I hear a lot of people saying this is just another example of the left trying to shut down free speech but there are clear threats being made on the platform. If Parler doesn’t want to do any content regulation then fine (though this should be any easy place to draw the line), but I can’t blame Amazon for saying “we don’t want that here”.

Here's my two cents.

1. Make sure you've told your boss that you are not being challenged and that you really want to work on something that will challenge you. Perhaps you have already done this, but I still mention it because sometimes we can have a difficult time being direct and saying exactly what we mean. Make sure that they know you are grateful for the position but from what you were told during the hiring process, you were going to have more challenges. This may help you get the challenges you were looking for, but even if it doesn't it will help you when you need to explain why you have to leave. (If you have to leave, exit gracefully. I cannot emphasize this enough.)

2. Make sure you're open to challenges. Are there other challenges around you that you can work on? Sometimes the best challenges are not the ones you go looking for. Sometimes the best lessons come from unexpected challenges.

3. Keep open to new places and don't hide what you're doing. Explain clearly why you would be leaving - you were told that it would be challenging but once hired that changed. Honesty is your best policy here because hiding anything will be a red flag to anyone who scrutinizes your experience.

Not very original, but I hope it helps.

I second this. A lot of times in the past I might put down notes on "run this command to get this result" or "don't forget that this library is over here". I made the incorrect assumption that this was obvious to others and not just to me.
