Scalanchilis

I took a new job about six months ago and am into my second project with them. Unfortunately, it has turned out to be a colossally bad fit. My job responsibilities have turned out to be closer to business analyst and assistant project manager than software engineer (but paid a senior software engineer salary). Their agile work style has turned out to be heavily bureaucratic, full of long meetings, documentation I am constantly being asked to generate, and just overall unpleasantness; I scarcely ever write a single line of code on the job. This did not match expectations based on the interview nor based on the experience listed on my résumé.

This is a remote position, and for various personal reasons, I am looking to relocate, a process that would take a few months and coordination with my S.O., and so am not interested in taking a local job in this mid-sized city. Good remote positions have been difficult to find. Financially, quitting in the interim is also not an option.

I am at odds trying to figure out a good way to handle this situation.
