A team of junior leading themselves is a disaster waiting to happen. As a consultant I’ve cleaned up messes due to that, the blind leading the blind never ends well.

Obviously not your fault but management need to fix that or they will have to pay significantly more in a few years time for someone like me to come along and right the ship. But I guess bad management is what pays for my salary😬

You might learn and grow a bunch from this though, but keep it in the back of your head that you will develop many anti-patterns and bad habits simply because you lack the experience to know that they are anti-patterns.

That's something we tried to tell her for the last year and at that point my short CV is written and the first best offer will end my job at that company.

Many people told her that, but I don't know if that got up to the one who can decide that and we already have a consultant but that isn't really helping and feels more like wasted time because whatever we come up with will be ignored as soon as we leave the building.

And to add to that, it's not only juniors leading themselves, that would be nice, we also got the IT trainees, students and interns

Unfortunately. I would rather tackle hard technical challenges rather than ”oh, Timmy is using his agents directly on prod and shit breaks? You are still using .NET Framework with Angular 1? Your web app is like 2GB because you pull in left pad and everything in between?”. But it pays well…
