“Accepted redundant job without considering future implications”

I've been stuck in a redundant job with little to no work, despite my skills and output being underutilized

What I wish I knew
"I should have negotiated a part-time role or looked for a more challenging position"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't accept a job that doesn't utilize your skills and experience, and be prepared to negotiate for a better fit"

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
