If you want to switch within the company, you can speak with a transition coach through mobility connections. It’s confidential and they can set up meetings with contacts in the area of interest.

It should be right on the front page in the list of shortcuts, at least it is on the US portal. I’m not sure where you’re based. Or just search ‘career mobility’ on the website.

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?
