Do companies usually prefer internal applicants or external? Is it dependent on the place?

I think it definitely depends. I've worked at places that prioritize one over the other and it usually depends on the manager, the company, and even the position itself.

I can see it being dependent, I also thought knowing the team already would’ve a good leg up but it isn’t always.

Some organizations have a culture that prioritizes elevating employees. In a place like that, internal applicants are always favored. Other organizations don't seem to care either way.

In my experience, internal promotions are always paid less than exterior hires so I always thought that was more preferred.

Internal is typically preferred unless that applicant has been in their current role for less than a year (then you wonder if they’re a good fit if already shifting).

I always thought it might be this.

Wells appears to prefer external over promoting internally.

Weird how it can be dependent but I guess it’s a company culture thing.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K.

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

Im currently going through industry change.
Im a pastry cook with 4yrs experience and the average salary start for this position is now at $22/hr here in vegas, especially in the strip. But cooking/baking is not my passion.
