It does, in a way. In big orgs, you don't control what happens outside of you. What you can control is how you position yourself in the face of new challenges. This new re-org gives you a new challenge with new stack, new people, maybe overlapping expertise. It is now on you to rise up to that and show yourself as a corp warrior. You may as well fail and find out that you will be happier to do your own thing.
