I'd suggest staying. Being in a smaller team means that your achievements and successes will stand out more to the wider business. You'll have to take on more tasks, and if management are anywhere near decent, they'll notice what you're doing and reward you for it. The worst thing you can do is fade into the background. Somebody needs to manage the team, let the other 2 fade into the background if they want to but build your profile within the wider business so that you're the "go to" person and become that leader.
So I joined this amazing team at a pretty good company. They're solving some interesting problems and improving the company's product. I'd been very motivated working with them from the start.
A few weeks ago the company announced they'd be allocating more resources for sales related teams and turns out my team is one that's gonna be gutted from 7 to 3 devs.
I've been extremely demotivated since I just left a fintech cause I found the space extremely boring. Haven't been able to work, finish tasks etc knowing I'm gonna go back to something I know I don't enjoy.
Not sure if I should leave, just slack off or what since the pay is really good and I've only been here half a year. There was also a small singing bonus I'd have to return.
Any tips?
