Sorry if it's not a good place to post this question. But maybe it will be interesting for somebody else.
7 weeks ago I changed the job. There were 2 reasons - I finished the general part of development on my previous job and did not want to work with creating additional reports, changing the colors and fonts of labels. And the second reason - I became MCSD. I did not get enough information about my new job and now I'm frustrated. For this short period I found out, that nobody in my new company cares about any programming rules - no description for existing processes and programs, no comments in code, huge quantity of mistakes. I have to work on small projects which were done by somebody. My boss doesn't give me any additional time to analize existing project on which he asks me to work. He asks me to make some changes, let's say to change the logic of one single process. I make those changes without understanding what I'm doing. I see that there is no error handling in that project, but I do not have time to fix it. And much more very bad situations.
How it will be understood by employeers, if I'll start to look for a new job after such a small period of time ? Will they think, that something wrong with me? Do I need to tell them that I hate to work as a monkey (my position is Senior Programmer) ? Do I need to tell them that I used to be responsible for everything I developed and here I do not have this ability?
Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.
