> Have you done this/had this kind of internal "poach" happen to you First job, was the QE and release build person for the team of embedded devs. QE turned into QE automation (think AT commands in a loop & basic JTAG), release build work turned into being CVS admin & a sort of manual Jenkins job (come by my desk, drop a patch, get a debug build out faster than the dev laptops when the build server was idle). And the result was that when a dev left, I was lifted into dev and someone else was hired into QE to run my scripts every week. In under 2 years from start to finish, I was out of the door because it went from a work-item project to a time-driven project (so the faster you were, the worse the billable hours looked). I wasn't going to stick around office and fake overtime.
