Nothing profound here, but dude, you really should italicize or indent whatever it is you're quoting, or everyone gets a major case of whiplash going "huh?" when your second paragraph contradicts your [sic] first one...
"If I succeed, then there is no way that I could hire my replacement, short of convincing them that I am no longer the right person for the job anyway, and that this new guy is better. "
Well... That's one way of looking at it. The other way is this: as soon as I walk into a new job, I start looking for someone who I can train to replace me. If I don't have a ready candidate to present to my boss, he'll never promote me!
I'm secure enough in my skills not to view this hypothetical understudy as a threat. When that next opportunity presents itself, it is wise to be ready to grab it.
I also don't like the idea of leaving one's old group in the lurch. It isn't good politics to burn your bridges.
