I think some other points to reflect upon: ...but it's more because of their inexperience than anything else. Is that really true? Do you know more about the business than they do? Can you manage a team better? Do you bring up challenges to them, or just scoff and think they're stupid. Hacking is not just manipulating code. Could you start your own company and out do the current company? I was expecting progress, instead I find my judgement being overruled by less experienced people Why are you being overruled? Is it emotions based? Title's based ("I'm SENIOR engineer..")? Where's the logic, analysis, and/or data to prove otherwise? Why can't you sell your idea to others? I guess it's all about making lemonade out of lemons. I understand your grievances all too well, but yes; sweet, sweet lemonade. Final thing is that I think it's better to communicate how you feel about your situation to your supervisor-type. If the they don't feel like they need to make a change, and you don't want to be there, easy solution.
