New role: Was given a different account than to the one interviewed for, not loving the account (pharma), work is tedious and boring, not conceptually exciting. Should I stick around or try to jump ship, while I can still leave this off my resume?

Could be worth trying to fix the situation first. Have you talked to your supervisor (or even the account department lead) about this?

I think this could happen at the next place, too. So you interview for the agency, not the account. (I’m assuming you are at an agency.) if you love the agency, stick around and try to change accounts in 12 months. But I think you will need to put time in first assuming the account will be around for that long.
