Guys, when applying to internal positions in different departments through the internal job portal
1. Do we need to inform our current manager?
2. Is it weird if i reach out to the hiring manager informally on Skype and ask for a 10 min call to get more info on the role and his expectations before i apply?
Appreciate any insights

1. Yes you definitely should. I would be surprised if the new mgr didn’t reach out to the current one for a reference. Better to have discussed the change if you’re wanting to change mid project, but even if not, let them know so they can help you achieve your career goals like getting this other position
2. No you should definitely do that. If you’re leaving on good terms you should ask your network or current mgr for an intro and you can also ask around to see if anyone has other insights on the new team

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
