Plenty of people are giving you tech advice and they are great but here is the reality: Unless you have power at the executive level, or are brought in as an expensive consultant to make big changes , you are wasting your time. I would tell you to stick around and shovel shit just to take cash home but from your post it doesn’t sound like you are happy there to begin with. What you are seeing here is a symptom of leadership not valuing engineer so trying to improve this requires a culture change from the top which is highly unlikely from where you stand. If the pay is really good, you might consider sticking with it for a bit and then move on. However if you feel like it will push you towards burnout, abandon ship ASAP. My younger self would have stayed and tried to be the unsung hero but now that I’m older I chuckle at that foolishness. Don’t be the silent hero.
