I think it totally depends on if you want the challenge of improving their practices. If you do, then stay and help. If you don’t, then leave. And I’d leave ASAP because this economy is so uncertain, the other jobs you want might get snatched up quickly.

I empathize with you not wanting to bail on them so quickly, but this stuff happens and the sooner you’re out the sooner they can get someone who looks forward to helping them improve their practices.

And in an ideal world you’d be able to give them honest, helpful criticism and they’d receive it well. But that’s generally considered a lost cause during the exit interview, so tread softly. Maybe separate from you leaving, have conversations with whoever you can about the importance of improving their practices.

thank you , I care about the company and i don't think i want to leave because i think highly of myself and i think this is beneath me, I just feel someone else could do this role and find it a better fit than me. I am a cloud infrastructure engineer with lots of experience that I can't use here since this job can be done by a linux administrator. I will chat about the need to bring devops and hopefully they know i come from a good side and not being critical of what they do.
