On my 3rd job in 2 years (consultant for a year, then left for a new company that was impacted by COVID. My new role is not very interesting and can be very pigeon holed at times. The pay and benefits are top notch, which are keeping me here. Is it too soon to jump again for something I’m more interested in or is it better to wait?

Ugggh. I'd recommend waiting at least a year, which is not that long of a time period. Who knows what will happen with Covid and elections, so staying at a place where your basic needs (pay and benefits) are met is not a bad thing to do in this environment. By the way, I have started 5 companies after working for a huge software/hardware vendor so I am not generally someone who is risk-averse.

I’m about to be in the same boat bro :(

Definitely wait a full year

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

Really struggling at work:
I’m in that awkward stage between a PM and Senior PM and the expectation from me is to be proactive, strategic and work independently. However I’ve struggled massively due to lack of experience, sometimes knowledge and not having the ability to see the bigger picture so I don’t know what else is required or needed to move the needle.
Currently, there is nothing strategic for me to work on as i don’t have the trust from my manager to own anything
