You already sounds pretty negative, they way you have framed the post. My initial gut feeling tells me that you should leave this job and find a place that nurtures what you want to achieve.

But, I see an opportunity for you to learn and forge yourself into a very robust engineer. Treat this place as place where you will upskill your self, take risks learn modern technologies. If it solves orgs problem great but if not, you have upskilled yourself. Pick up new product, introduce tools that enable business owners the build or customize their implementation. You can work very hard and take ownership. The fact that you are talking to stakeholders upfront you can push back, learn to logically argue with business owners and stuff.

It depends up whether you feel burned out or not. But I see opportunity. And also, it should ask the stakeholders to get software manager or product owners to structure the roadmap.

I have to admit my negativity, sorry. I feel tired.

It's a good opportunity, of course, but it will absolutely be necessary to succeed in changing the balance of power.

I appreciate the logic of personal progression regardless of the outcome for the company. Have you experienced this?

If you feel tired, it is not worth it anyways. Regardless of the outcome.

Yes I have experienced it. I can tell you there is better org out there where you can thrive and grow into a very good engineer as well as understand how startup and business works.

So you took the risk of changing gear and following your inner motivations. Was it worth it in the end?

You are in what I call in the Chasm. Afraid to take chance, risking something that you already have. I have seen people be in that chasm for year and suffer.

I did take the leap of faith. Initially, there is a feeling that may be it was not a great decision but even from a distance and when you look back it looks like a better decision. When you leave this job, you will feel a big pit or stone removed from your chest.

It was definitely worth it. Now you know what you don't like in an org and what you should not do when join the next org.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you wish to.

Where does this expression come from?

I have a good example of "leap of faith". A close developer friend of mine decided to leave the development agency where he was working for fairly similar reasons. He then managed to find a job at a much bigger development company. He's still amazed that I have to wear 5 different hats when he's only wearing one, with no deadlines, just PRs and 3 times the salary.

I'll do it, maybe giving a bit more context and detail is important. But I don't want to take up too much of your time.
