That's how I feel now at my first post doc. I feel frustrated and bored already with no real mentorship or any prospect of growth. I'm really eager to be in a place where people love what they do and continuously be challenged. That's why I'm seriously considering leaving academia


Put a resume together and apply for interesting jobs. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming out of academia. In the end, much to my own benefit and my family's, but it took too long. Biotech has been on a hiring binge recently, but not sure if it will stay that way given the recent direction of tech stocks.
