Up until a month or so ago, I was convinced I'd landed my dream job. If I had a soul, it would be crushed now.
Which is not to say that it's awful, not by any means. I've just gained a new perspective on the value of best practices in software development.
Which is to say, much less than getting paid a lot and not working with dickheads?
I'm guessing "rewarded much less than knowing your way around office politics".
The people I work with are mostly not dickheads and the pay is reasonable. It's the mountain of ugly spaghetti code I'm expected to build on top of that kills me. There's no time to do refactors, of course.
