I read that as "dong so good a job, that the job will do itself without you". In IT, Ican see that happen: "automated maintenance", once doing what it should do, "should" put the people who automated the system in a position "ready to go on to something else".
If you like the $company, option 3 may be preferrable: the higher-ups may know you already, respect you, and YOU know how to work with them. The new dept may have a different, yet "similar" culture, atmosphere as the one you worked yourself out of.
And ... the "old" dept may appreciate you staying "somewhere close" and ready to "do a little freelancing".
What I would do: if I felt myself in such a position: 3. I'm a bit "conservative", you know. As in Newtons second law of dynamics: "all bodies resist change", or more accurate: "all bodies need (external) forces to make them change" |
