Honestly, you should have cleared with your boss before applying to an internal role...

@A1, I disagree. The boss could be vindictive and block the move. It's best not to say anything.

@k1 what's a non retaliation policy going to do? Non retaliation usually refers only to whistle blowing in my understanding. Plus, it's generally accepted that the only hard and fast policy at booz Allen is 'don't be late with your timesheet'

like

No. It's an internal position. The hiring manager emailed him asking about my availability

like

By boss do you mean your project boss or your counselor? I think your counselor should know and should be supportive of a move, they are there to help you in your career. Project boss... I don't see why they would need to know.

Take some comfort knowing that the boss can't do anything vindictive, either explicitly or in more subtle ways, regardless of your decision. I assume Booz Allen has a non-retaliation policy.

You'll be fine

Let us know how it goes! If he fires you for it = dick move

At K, in theory, retaliation is defined as well beyond protection from getting fired. For example, if said boss were to stop assigning meaningful work to OP, or invite everyone on the team but OP to lunch. Again, I'm assuming a reputable firm like Booz has something similar?

like

We're both conjecturing here. OP should just read up firm policy to settle this.

You're definitely allowed to look into internal positions at BAH without notifying your current manager (although of course not preferable). If going through RM, there is an option to select that so they won't contact your CM. If going on your own, you should have mentioned to the prospective hiring manager that you were looking discreetly. But that ship has sailed, so just be straightforward with your CM about wanting a new position.

There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
