I’ve been offered a job heading my own training department in a small 60 person company. I’ve already said no thanks, but they are insisting. I’m very hesitant to take it.

Factors to consider:
. I’ve been extremely bored at my current job since April, but I believe this is because we’ve just been bought. Once the dust settles there will hopefully be more training work to do.
. Although their offer is very attractive financially, I’m afraid it means I would be one of the first to go if they should ever need to cut expenses. Training is not something this company makes money from, so they’re likely to see it as an expense.

Of course, they’re stunned that I’m refusing this opportunity to go into management. Am I totally lacking in ambition here? What’s wrong with remaining a small fish in a big pond, for now?
