How long in a new company (who is open to this type of thing) do you express your interest in a lateral move to a different role/dept?

Background: I work in marketing but ultimately want to move into a Scrum Master type role (recently got my PSM-I). I’m starting at a new company next week that’s open to people moving internally to where they want to be, but obviously don’t want to be flakey to what they hired me for. I was thinking putting in a year before expressing interest. Thoughts?

I think it is okay at 6-9 months to start putting it out there that you love the company (if true) and in the future would like to potentially explore other roles or at the very least socializing your interest in agile. Planting the seed and also in that amount of time you will ideally better understand the operations of the company and not blindside your area. There also might be opportunities where you can SM within marketing.

I can see how that would be disappointing. Wishing for the best with this company! Last point…depending on the role you are taking, there are probably plenty of opportunities to showcase your growth / agile mindset so it almost becomes a no-brainer to make that lateral move.

At first opportunity, you can mention that you recently completed your PSM-1. Might spark a good dialogue.

Of they have a current opening them now.

I worked for a little under 2 years before making a lateral move. Have been in my current role for about 2 years and am looking at another lateral move or external move if i don’t see a promotion by EOY

5 months +

Good morning / Hello! Just a reminder that you don't have to put up with anyone's bullshit today. 🤙 Stick up for yourself and your workload (professionally and with examples of needed.) Don’t just say “yes”, to extra work. Decline that meeting that someone sends today for 5pm. Calibrate people’s expectations. It’s okay to not turn your camera on. And be sure to take a minimum of 30min and get outside if you can. Handle your biz, and make it a great Friday. 💯 💻📲📊📧

Come back to work on Monday only to find that my work load was added to. What will it take?
