Some options:
- Join a company that does something that challenges you
- Join a company with technology that doesn't challenge you, and increase its value by solving harder, and more valuable, problems, than they're doing. You can't do that if you quit after 3 months.
- Create your own company and work on hard problems
- Go into academia and work on hard paper problems
Not all hard things are useful, important, or valuable, and I wish you to find a place that does all. There's a difference between science and engineering.
