Pomies should I apply for a job at a different company and quit this one?
The salary is good and the exit opportunities are great if I stay long enough but I was recently put onto a super understaffed and behind schedule project near the final deliverable date.
The issue is that I was initially only pegged to assist with a major key deliverable for this project but then the lead quit and now I'm stuck being in charge of it despite having no prior experience with this kind of work and it being far above my pay grade.
The project lead is gunning for partner this year and I'm 80% sure this project will fail to deliver and he'll hold a grudge against the project team for how poor the outcome will be.
If he does make partner my future promotion pathing here is rocky at best.
I've only worked here for around 4 months so if I leave now that could also potentially look horrible on a resume long-term.
Should I apply now for a position elsewhere one up from my current in case it all goes tits up?
