I just found out a junior dev on my team is using a favouritism loop with our VP to secure a promotion over people who have double their output. They aren't particularly skilled at the stack, but they happen to go to the same golf club as the executive and constantly drop insider gossip during happy hours to look important. It’s completely killed the team's morale because we realized our meritocracy is totally fabricated. How do you keep grinding when you realize it’s all rigged by office politics?

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS. Upon reading the job description, it’s clear I will be doing a lot of sales and client consulting over actually coding. I know they have a FE SWE role open. How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?
