The code is just atrocious. It's obviously been written by people who are architecture astronauts and it hurts daily to work on simple features that would take me 20 minutes in any other setting. I'm dreading work, and this has never happened to me before. I'm usually excited about work and knocking things out. The pointman I'm speaking with as I get onboarded with the systems has a very thick accent and a very poor microphone, it's very hard for me to understand, nevermind the mic physically hurting my ears haha The founder is also pushing for hard deadlines however development is slow because this clusterfuck of a database and architecture is just bonkers lmao The pay is excellent and in a very interesting niche, but man I am just dreading getting up to work here. I don't know what to do. Should I quit? It's only been 4 months. How can I mitigate these feelings and improve the situation?
