My 2 cents: if you have a good relationship with your manager and you think they are a good manager I’d stay, but I’d tell them that I’m stressed with the situation and feel that we’ve lost a lot of the know how while I’m still new - they should understand and support you, and defend you if criticism comes in. I’d also do my best to increase knowledge to fill the gap and angle for seniority - it’s actually (probably) a net win in your situation unless the current state is a shambles.
Of course it might not be the current great resignation behind this, I’d also try to figure out if something else is going on.. is there a culture problem, is the manager no good etc..
- throw20211122 5y agoI responded to another commenter with a detail I deliberately left off, which is my direct manager was one of the team members to leave. The next higher up manager oversees all the engineering teams in the company and has been hands off. I'm certainly spooked by this situation, though as you said this could be a significant net win given I will eventually have a majority the domain knowledge (if I'm kept on this current team), it's just not in my brain folds yet. Getting additional perspectives is super helpful, so thank you!
