Are you working at the same company as me? I just jumped ship to somewhere else with high pay and promises of working with a complex low-level codebase - this is my skill set after all - as it turned out I'm writing unit tests in Python and being paid a bunch of money for it.
Inexperienced as far as the industry goes, but as far as the company goes I actually feel quite a bit more experienced (thanks to being mentored by a couple senior engineer with serious projects under their belt). Unfortunately people seem to care more about seniority in the company than actual code quality.
Even worse is that people seem to rarely show up to work except for meetings, or if they do they just leave really early. The ironic part is that the company is supposed to 'move fast', but all of their builds and infrastructure is insanely slow.
I guess the only thing we can do is learn skills outside of work and jump to a better job in a few months or a year. It is a good life lesson, and at least you are getting paid.
