A ton of people are probably asking themselves if you wouldn’t be the new guy on their team.

Sorry it was sort of joke, cause the problems that you describe are extremely common, and people running those teams really struggle to keep people on.

Anyways, you should try both to find a new job, and (since it could last a little bit), try to improve your situation internally.

Also, when you interview for your next job, make sure you ask the devs what it’s like to work there, what’s the general code quality, is there a bunch of “legacy” stuff. People generally open up when it’s bad…
