Should I stay at a project that I feel comfortable in but isn’t interesting/challenging or move to another one which seems interesting but unknown team culture/environment?

Depends on what’s more important to you. To me I want interesting projects because that’s more important to me than a great team.

Considering the current environment I would not take the risk of going to an unknown team and partner. You like what you're doing so continue to do it while you wait and watch how the economy shapes up during these challenging times

I’d stay put, given the economic uncertainty. New client situation, unknown team - client funds could dry up, team could get kicked out bc they’re bad. Not saying they are, just one person’s opinion 🙃

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.
