TL;DR: I've been working for the startup since November, and I don't think I could have picked a worse time to join. Right now I'm the last remaining member of full time staff yet to hand in notice, and wondering if I should secure a new job first, risk riding this ship till the bitter end, or, if I should bail now and hope I can pick up something good and new quick enough.

FULL: I'm a fairly recent graduate, with a years placement experience, and a lot of open source contribution. The company I work for right now was small when I joined, however had been around a few years and was/is part of an incubator of sorts. Since joining though the only other (senior) developer has moved onto a better role elsewhere, and the MD was removed shortly after when a couple of new investors came on-board.

When I started it had a great vibe, the team worked closely together, and we all believed in the product. There was also the promise of imminent funding to hire more dev's to really polish off the product. Unfortunately we're now a few months in and no cigar just yet. To make it worse all but myself, and the new (hands on, but never seen) investors, are going to be gone due to better offers elsewhere. It turns out that the management and guidance from the incubator has been not so great, and has been on the decline for a while.

However, the company (whats left of it) is finally about to sign on the illusive investment which could give it a chance to actually bring on new developers, and have runway to get things through till the end of the year.

I'm currently looking for something else, as at this point I'm surprised things haven't just been shutdown. Though I'm not sure if I should:

* bail immediately, * wait till I have something new secured, * or, risk sticking around to make the most out of this new investment and using it as a growth/learning opportunity.

Does anyone have any experience in this sort of situation or advice on what they would do?
