The poster thinks the tech lead is in idiot partly based on the fact the tech lead doesn't close as many tickets as juniors. Any good interviewer will figure this out if it's mentioned. Then they will know the poster doesn't know as much as they think they do about the job of a tech lead, and that they jump to damning conclusions from dubious judgement.

You are yourself jumping to damning conclusions about the OP, a person you don't know anything about except for what is written in his or her question. It is entirely possible that the OP is right and that the tech lead is an idiot. That is a valid reason for wanting to switch jobs.

#38Try not to get discouraged when the same thing happens 6 months into your new job; just repeat the process above and hope that you're wiser / luckier with your selection this time around.
