I graduated College in May 2011, and joined a consulting company right after. While I had multiple job offers at the time this one looked like the best. It was to be a Java developer, I was sent to a one month Java training session, mostly review (for me at least). Finished it then spent one month "on bench" waiting to get staffed on a project (all paid time). Started working on VBA (For Excel) project where I have to code macros, and support users (around 50-70) . This was about 6 months ago, Fast forward to now: haven't coded in any other language other than VBA, and they will need me in this position for almost another year.

For the past 3 months I've been looking for jobs and had some phone interviews some recruiters reach out to me etc. I am so fed up with the project and feel like all my other skills are rotting (Java, among others). I am learning nothing new about VBA at this point and about 50% of time is spent on support. Now VBA is a nice skill to have but I think of it more as a "side dish" skill rather than an "entree" skill. I feel like my time would be better spent if I quit and was coding my own hobby projects for experience rather than doing the VBA for excel. I have a decent savings bank account from this job and have no debt what so ever.

Tomorrow at work I will probably give in my two weeks notice. What do you guys think?
