Picked the team with the messier roadmap over the polished one during an internal move and don't regret it

Team A had a clean roadmap, clear OKRs, a manager who'd clearly done this pitch before. Team B's lead was upfront that the next two quarters were "figure out what we're even building." Went with B because the problem space was more interesting and the manager's honesty about the mess felt like a better signal than Team A's polish. Six weeks in, it is in fact messy. Also genuinely more fun than anything I've worked on here.
