took easy job for stability

My easy job makes me feel depressed and bored, wasting my potential

What I wish I knew
"I should have negotiated for more responsibility or looked for a better job"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your long-term goals and don't settle for a job that doesn't challenge you"
