Due for a promotion but just saw my company has an open position instead of hiring from within. 🙄 should I apply?

😂 I love the idea of applying. But Junior Copywriter's idea is probably better. Figure out who posted it and talk to them about throwing your hat into the ring.

The petty move would be to apply without saying anything lol but agree about reaching out 😅

Isn't that the worst? You should absolutely apply. Why not? If you're qualified, go for it.

this feels so weird but I agree

Either apply or find the person who posted it and ask if you can apply

Or should I just find a better job? Is that being prideful??

No one is going to push you to promotion. Your progression is yours alone - if there is an opportunity take it.

I can’t speak to how big your place is, but JC1 is right in connecting with the job poster. Often teams or levels don’t talk and might not have considered putting your name forward. Just be proactive and ask. If it doesn’t work out, no worries and you get feedback on what you need to do to be promoted. They’ll know you’re interested to move up and you know where you stand with them.

Good luck.

Does anyone here suffer from bipolar disorder? How do you manage it and working in law? I see a therapist, and a psychiatrist, and am on medication, but I still have days where I wake up and I’m so depressed I can’t move. I’m working on remedying this with my doctors, but how does one approach mental health issues with their employer? I never felt the need to until I realized how much being bipolar can affect my ability to work.
