Landed a job without considering my skills

Assigned to a role that doesn't utilize my skills, feeling underutilized and bored

What I wish I knew
"To research the company's work style and team dynamics before accepting the job"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider negotiating a role change or looking for a new job if you're not satisfied with your current situation"
