RE: Decision to make

If you are asking will the iSeries be around long enough to make a
career of then I think the answer is yes, especially for someone like
you who is willing to try new things.  You need to decide what you
would like to do all day.  My company trained a good RPG programmer in
the SAP ABAP programming language, which you would think would be a
ticket to lifetime employment (although there are changes there too)
but she left to go back working with RPG.

I agree with others who have said do not use the new opportunity as a
negotiating tactic.  If you have gripes, express them tactfully and
work them out.  If they don't work out, move on as you can.

with my current employer to expand/change my day to day activities, possible
