My skip manager has recently externally hired a lot of staff engineers, which has cut off a lot of areas I was enjoying working in and removed my room for growth and potentially promotion.

I have an opportunity for a "grass is greener on the other side" to switch to a team internally that pairs more with my interests and lets me be head down more in coding instead of leading, also with the opportunity for growth as I gain expertise in the space. The commute to work is also a lot shorter and can be remote lol

I'm leaning on taking this opportunity, but I actually really do enjoy my current manager and the people in my space. Should I stick it out on my current team and try to make affairs better, or should I take the opportunity to try something new?

I've also only been in my current space for ~1 year so I feel guilty about that

What are the things I should be thinking about? How do I know I'm not making a decision based on how I feel negatively in the moment?

You’re able to cross-compile to mobile + web as well so you’re not just stuck on the desktop.

e.g.

  struct MyStruct {
    x int
  }
  
  struct MyStruct2 {
    y string
  }

  
  func Int add(Int x, Int y) {
    return x + y
  }

Being able to resume from anywhere without thinking twice and having to checkpoint the code is also great. Off-loading compilation and editing to the cloud is the future of programming and already done at scale at large companies like google.
