I have little to nothing to do after 6 months into this new job. There's very little development work and got the same heads-up from my manager. I want to code and continue to learn as much as i can while I'm still young but there's very little opportunity to be challenged. Do I wait for a full year while leetcoding or switch now? There was a senior developer who left after 9 months after i started for the same reason. Tc: 83000. Yoe: 1.5. Chicago/Financial services
Where are you located - (should your TC evoke sympathy)?
Chicago. I updated the post with location and industry.
Given the location should it still evoke?
Sounds like the perfect position to prep for a better job?
Sounds like it.
don’t waste your time prepare for interviews and land a better job.
How would the short employment look on my profile? That's my only concern..
It's not like you bailed after 2 months. Assuming interview process takes a month or two, 8 months is enough time to realize it is not a good fit. Won't matter at all.

Yeah I've been doing that these days just to stay updated. It's a fairly big corporation so technologies are years old.
