Ideally I'd like to lead a project from start. I'm very experience senior/staff engineer with backend/data/frontend experience able to boostrap an entire project.
Once out of necessity (my wife just got pregnant) I was forced to accept a dull job that was paying good. The first few months, I was miserable and I was continuously looking linkedin. Then when my daughter was born and a few months had passed I even started doing interviews. But eventually, that dull job also had very good work life balance, I had to do very little and I could help my wife with my baby daughter. Eventually I started to appreciate that and allowed myself to be in a dull position and enjoy my extra time with my daughter. Eventually I came to love that position, and not give a damn about everything else, I allowed myself to changey focus on something else, which in my case was being a dad, but could be something else for you. It was more the self image I had of myself and how I allowed my job to define me.
Notice one thing, the job did pay well enough so money wasn't a concern there.
