You are compensated for a few things in a job: The expertise you bring, the responsibility you take, and the stress the job poses on you. It seems to me that you need a significant salary bump. Not double but x10. It's not your responsibility to satisfy the requirements, neither you should take stress for it. Of course, you don't have the expertise to do it, but that's not your fault.

Given that the odds of getting a x10 salary are nil, I suggest you put all your efforts on job hunting. Answer all emails/calls with Okay now. Don't worry about the consequences of getting fired because that's the outcome you are hoping for.

I'm afraid I've misunderstood what you've written. Are you being sarcastic?

Of course, it's my fault if I don't manage to progress as quickly as the job requires. On the other hand, the decisions taken by management not to hire experienced developers for cost reasons and to favour state-subsidised student contracts is not.

It's my fault if I don't manage to organise the development properly and therefore don't meet the deadlines. It's not my fault if managers change their expectations/features literally every week because they have "the big vision".
