I have been working as a software engineer for 7 months after transitioning from a 5-month internship at my current company. I got absorbed into a full-time role, but I’m feeling stuck and bored with my work. There doesn’t seem to be any room for growth, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s time to look for a new job. I'm not sure if I should count my internship as part of my experience, which would give me a total of 12 months. I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether I should wait until I have at least a year of experience before making a switch. Some people suggest that I can list my internship and full-time role as a continuous experience to make it look like a promotion. I’m considering starting my job search while still employed, so I don’t feel pressured. I just want to find something that excites me again.
