Just quit dude. I worked and was underpaid while working for a douchebag boss on a scummy team for years and it caused a ton of stress. As long as you have a few months of expenses covered you’ll be fine.
I was trying to “wait till I got an offer” like everyone says and interview during work hours. Eventually a meeting got rescheduled to a time I had an interview, so I told the meeting organizer I couldn’t make it and didn’t show. Then my manager & director started hounding me like a pack of howler monkeys. After I was done with my interviews I got back to them and quit on the spot because they were being jackasses. Then I literally got multiple job offers the next day and had another company compete against them, now I’m making 2x what I was making and everybody is super nice and cool.
Looking back, I wish I had just quit earlier, when you’re in a shitty situation you stay in it hoping it gets better, when you should really just give up and recalibrate your life. There’s no glory in working on a team of uninspiring douchebags.
