Fair point! But I think it's important to step back sometimes and be careful to avoid too much focus on visible short-term gains for the company, since it can result in missing the bigger picture for long-term opportunities and ideas.
I worked in a small startup once, directly interacting with a CTO who constantly said things like "we need some quick wins". Needless to say, I felt immediately under pressure and stopped thinking about long-term possibilities or learning. Within about 3 months of being hired, I decided it was time to leave before things got worse. At that point I realised why people hired before me never seemed to stick around either :D

Good point I didn't think about it, seems your decision was correct (in my point of view), I wish you good luck :)
