Would you rather stay in a boring job (good pay, good wlb, boring work) for a year and get your green card or switch to a better company and let the greencard go? The boring job is also does not have a lot of work in the pipeline.

i think you know the answer to this unless there are way more data-points about new job that you are not sharing here.

F the green card. Do good work and be in a place that gives you great opportunities.

funny

Stay for the green card. Get your professional/personal fulfillment elsewhere.

Get the green card. Meanwhile start networking and prepping

Gosh the boring job sounds like a dream tbh

You should be in que with wait period of 50-100 yrs. That may make your boring job interesting.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in this country that are ready to sweep floors if they can get GC in an year.
