And thank you guys, it seems the consensus is to go for it. The hiring managers seem pretty eager to forgo the whole formal process for me and just to the cursory interview. It just doesn't compute for me how they can be that confident in my skill set. From what I understand, they are just really eager to have someone with my technical knowledge of the network on their team that can vette their proposals and such.
I think that asking to do a job shadow for a day or 2 is not out of the realm of reasonableness, and I can meet who I would be potentially working with. I let my current manager know what I was doing and he is pissed because he doesn't want to lose me, but excited that I would be moving up in the ladder. It seems like the tone from our conversation that he may be trying to pull a few strings for me to try and get me to stay, but who knows. I think I will go through whatever process there is, at worst, I can always decline the offer if they make one to me.
