Everything I've read here has some validity. Some additional questions: If you're already not happy at BIC, how do you know you'll be happy in a new department in the same company? Also, how do you know the technical level of the "technical" team you'd be working with? Have you spoken to a few people on that team? Sometimes the alpha geeks in an organization turn out to be less impressive than you thought. And what kind of timeline are you looking at? How long would you stay in either position? Months? Years?
