A month into the job i see the company really does not have good best practices for development, I have no access to dev environments or QA to test anything. It took 2 weeks for me to just get admin access on a Windows computer. They are a finance company and they don't even understand why I need virtualbox on my machine. There have been 3 outtages on a new service that was rolled out recently and i can see why. There is no communication between ops and devs and there are no best practices. The people are NICE but also they are not really looking to suddenly change their process because they involve security and change control and that's something they are not changing right away.
I interviewed with another company that is full AWS and i would basically take ownership of their existing environment from configuring aws resources, ci cd pipelines and working with monitoring and load testing. stuff that I now how to do and do well. I feel my current job is basically being a linux admin and paid very well for it but really they are not using my skills and even if i want to do my job there are blockers on my way.
I want to be honest and just thank them for the job and resign and let them now i don't feel well getting paid so much money when they are not maximizing my skills . I don't want to offend them or come across as an ungrateful person. is it fair for me to do this resign and move on or should i give them a longer chance ? any advice would be really helpful
