Normally i say chase engaging work, but lately i try to temper that with "non programming life is even better a lot of times".That said, do you still have time/energy in your nights to work on oet projects DESPITE the boring daily work? I find boring work drains me more than tougher problems do. If you can still work in your off hours then consider that your next position may pay less and consume more mental energy, enough that your pet projects cease or slow. Its a tough choice, for sure and leaning on inaction always feels bad doesnt it?
