A former manager from my company told me that because my assigned team is not in my local market, I have no real chance to advance. Promotions need you to be on the local managements radar, which I am not and I am not eligible to promote in my market as I wouldn’t be able to work in office. His advice, I need to find a job elsewhere if I want to advance.

I am glad I talked with him, met him through a mutual friend. He told me me that reality is that he only saw one person get promoted from a non local team , in over 10 years of management. It is just impossible to compete with people the hiring managers and the managers in market already know. And no better way to find yourself unemployed than asking to change teams. Ultimately this is perceived as complaining

Ask for a mentor and review your career goals.
