I just did this! I was a nervous wreck but in a nutshell I told my boss I want to be considered for the open role on another account and explained why (ready for a new challenge, etc) and s/he was 100% for the idea. So now I wait for all the internal discussions to be had. Caveat, my boss has been working to get me promoted so I'm hoping I was already on track for it regardless if I change accounts.

Thanks! Been in the role for 3 years. Agency is very small, so promotions aren't easy to come by. Was told recently, anecdotally, 'we need you now more than ever' which feels like I have leverage... Right?

Didn't get it. Feeling very bummed today had some set backs where junior person was recognized and got shut down by ECD.

...why do we do this again?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
