> If you leave your old team it means you no longer use your knowledge,
If you move from Team A to Team B, you may not use your knowledge of the details of their codebase.
But you know precisely how to sort out the problems caused by the company's weird internal certificate authority, and their weird internal deployment tools, their weird internal inter-service auth system, and their weird internal multi-cloud system. That 'secure' way of managing secrets in production that makes 'unauthorized' errors almost impossible to debug? You know how to debug it. You know how to operate the purchasing system so your orders go through right the first time. You know precisely what the criteria are to get your subordinates promoted, and how to coach them to meet the criteria.
That can be worth a lot, when it comes to getting things done.
