Isn't it obvious? They want you working as an engineer.

Their goal is to generate revenue. They don't want a vacancy on the team that's supposed to be generating revenue. Your jump to the statistics team makes their engineering team look like a sinking ship.

It's arguable that the team I'm aiming for is even MORE responsible for generating revenue, fwiw.

They clearly want me aboard as a dev, but the question is whether they're actively discouraging me or simply avoiding promises they may not be able to keep.
