getting out before being forced out to prove myself in another role might be a good move.
Luckily, my partner has been ahead of the curve in this situation twice in the past two years. I would definitely recommend making the move!
I had an option to make a similar move during my 2nd year of employment with the NBA. I turned down a safer job cataloging pictures for the NBA archives to maintain my position working on Live TV as an assistant producer which I enjoyed much more. Well, two years later they moved the entire Live TV division down to Atlanta from New York City to be closer to the Turner TV HQ. I declined to make the move and without any other openings I was squeezed out of my position at the NBA.
