Yep. There's a huge unpredtability factor in changing scenery, especially if it's the first move they've made.

Trying to predict what they'll be based on how they've performed in the same place they've been all their career is a fools errand.

In as many cases as not, it turns out that they were held back or plateaud as a result of the team/role/environment and a bigger role elsewhere served as a catalyst.
