The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

Go. Otherwise you will be explaining to everyone why you stayed on a sinking ship, implying poor judgement

OP, how does the new org leadership see you? Part of the old regime? Get out. Part of the old company, but willing to work hard or all in or something else like that? Still get out. Unless they are actively using you like you are the solution, get out. It should be pretty easy to figure this out, by the way. There's rarely ambiguity. If they treat their new hires differently than you, you're toast.

I am treated very well, have a lot of autonomy and am actually paid highly for my position (and I'm a female)!!

Such a tough decision. Sticking it out could lead to rapid growth opportunities. On the other hand, no one wants Captain of the Titanic on their resume. Do you see turnaround on the horizon?

There is a large effort to turn things around and organizational leadership shakeup, etc. I feel like I'm not being patient but who knows! I am paid well.

You at Publicis?

I think you should go. Don't stay on a sinking ship. You want to be around smart / inspiring people and good clients... sounds like both are leaving
