Is my one-company career going to hold me back?

 

I’ve worked at the same logistics firm since graduating 25 years ago and am one of the most senior people in Hong Kong. But I heard rumours that the company will be shutting its HK office next year and anyone wishing to stay will have to relocate to another country – which is not an option for me. My worry is that I’m not sure I can do what I do now somewhere else. I know my current firm inside out and have spent years building up relationships here. I can’t see how I can replicate that success in a new company. Should I target less senior positions so that the chances of failure are lower?
