But there are a ton of unscrupulous individuals that represent inadequate developers (maybe in general, maybe only for a specific project) and flat out lie about their skill sets and experience. People thinking of outsourcing in this manner should interview those doing the work, and follow up later to make sure those are the actual people doing the work a few weeks down the road.
Start looking for work, but keep your current job if you can stand it. Leave them before your boredom effects your performance and they leave you. You have a great explanation when interviewing at a new place as to why you want to leave your current job.
I once took a job doing server development -- hired by the CEO to sort out all the problems and technical debt surrounding the companies backend.
The VP of Engineering returned from pat leave and ordered me unto front end work while the CEO was on leave. I had no interest in that work and had to learn while doing using their crazy framework that was an absolute mess. I regret not walking 2 weeks into that, but stayed another 5 months resulting in total burnout.
Do you think there was an effort to deceive you? In my case I believe there was (after seeing how the company went about business). Chances are if they lied to you about the job description, they'll lie to you about other things.
I grew up a few hours away from there, I remember hearing about the 1980s efforts on the news at the time and finding it fascinating as any pre-teen boy would. I also feel like we're due for some recent maniacs to come along and start the whole fiasco over again.
