Anyone have experience making a lateral move within your agency from one department to another, where there is some overlap in skills but different responsibilities? How did you bring this up to your boss? How did you prove you could excel in the new role when it’s not the same as your current role? If you tried to lateral and didn’t get the new role, was your relationship with your team soured?

I did, was in account and moved to creative. Worked with and got to know one of the CD’s pretty well and told her about my interest. I was taking night classes, which showed my dedication, so she gave me small copywriting assignments for a couple months to see how I fared. Then she brought it up to my current boss and operations and helped me make the switch. Moral of the story, good to know the person you want to be working for and have them advocate on your behalf.

I've seen someone do this in an agency. They asked for a meeting with their sup and explained their interest in an open position and explained all the reasons why they felt they would excel at it - I think she focused on projects where she worked with the person in the previous role and what she'd learned by watching him (and her confidence that she could do what he was doing). She was a shoe-in since she was already in the agency and her previous position was easy to hire for.

His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.
