I got an offer on a new team internally and I’m scheduled to start next week. A few days before I started exploring this opportunity, I applied for an external role and they started the interview process a few days after I learned of the internal job. Now I’m waiting to hear back from the external job which is closer to home and has a significant raise. I would accept the external offer if extended. Would you tell the new manager for the internal role now or wait to hear back first?

Wait to hear back from other role. And yes take it if you’re interested and the money is a lot better. You may think it’s a dick move (that’s nice of you to even consider) but corporate America is more or less one giant, ongoing dick move and your current firm will lay you off at their earliest convenience if needed. Best of luck!

exactly! Think for yourself first...I would get the job first and then let them know that you are leaving. Make sure you get the offer in writing and a start date.

I hate to say it, but I agree with the other posters. Until you receive an actual offer, the external position doesn't exist. I respect that your conscience is telling you that you should notify your new internal manager, but the reality is that the message you will be conveying is that you are looking to leave, regardless of whether you get the external position or not. Not really the best way to start a relationship with your new manager, especially if the external position doesn't work out.

yo same boat here kind of. if the 2nd place offered me an offer id happily take it over this other offer where i verbally accepted 2 days ago (final round interview next tuesday for the place i like better). havent signed anything yet cause theyre still working on the paperwork. really dont wanna be the asshole in this situation but its real tough man. guess we should both wait

Once you hear back on the external role and offer you could also use it as a bargaining chip with current employer/new role. Maybe they'd be willing to match or come closer to the (external role) salary.

I would wait to hear back or go with the flow take new role. If and when offered the position outside you nred to make the decision that is best for you. Many times moving internationally is for comfort zone. One needs to look at the big picture and what benefits them the most. Remember everyone is replaceable career life.

Also, not the worst idea to let the external know that you’ve been offered another position, but you would prefer their role. I’ve had that conversation before, and it allowed them to speed up the process a little bit.

Hopefully you’ve got a decent sense of how they might receive a heads up like that.
