Hey everyone,

Looking to get feedback on a potential career move(internally at this point)

I’ve been w/ my company for 10 years, & I currently do Market Intelligence. (2 YOE)
I may have the opportunity to be a Project Manager for one of the BUs, & I feel as though the opportunity would further add substance to my resume & round out my professional development. I’m working on getting my MBA, then my PMP.
The Comp Intel Role is ambiguous but more fun, but no growth direction, should I apply?

No growth direction - why?

Keyword I picked up was “fun”. Any job you think would be fun - or have knowledge of what it entails and think it would be a good time, is w job worth applying for. Management is sometimes not all sunshine and roses, as it usually comes with people management. List our pro’s and cons. Also I understand 10 years somewhere may mean you like it there, but there are thousands of companies out there if this new position isn’t all it was cracked up to be and you feel stuck.

Sorry for the delay on getting back to you. (Didn’t see the notification)

Thanks for this response. The 10 years of me being at the company is largely related to it being a “safe” company. Moneys ok, but it’s hard to get fired.
The PM role seems like it would be much more demanding day to day but it’s clear what I would be doing with more pay. This current role can be all over the play and the day to day is very inconsistent on tasks, but the freedom allows it to be more “fun”.

Hi All,
