Re:Help, I'm Too Smart For My Job by morgante on Sunday August 25, 2013 @04:49PM (#6273663)
Disregarding the marketing bits, a good story.

But there are a lot of actually good reasons to stay in an easy (ie. stupid) job if it's a temporary situation with an exit in sight. Specifically, when bootstrapping/moonlighting a startup you have no energy left for an overly intense day job. So stick with the crappy job until it's time to take your passion full time.

So I'd suggest a modification to the old maxim: If you're the smartest person in the room, either leave the room or start to build a new one.
