I love my team and the work associated with it but I’m coming up on two years in my role and would like to explore other opportunities within the bank. How do I approach my wanting to seek out internal opportunities with my boss? If I want to start applying, should I speak to my boss first or apply first and then bring it up if I get picked to move forward? I have a great working relationship with my boss but I’m not sure about timing right now.

Speak to your boss first, make sure you have their support or at least are aware because they can support you and reach out to hiring managers or they can torpedo you if they are last to know and feel disrespected.
If you have a great working relationship they will want to see you succeed. That’s how I look at my team and my boss looks at me and her direct reports. Some of this depends on the company culture so try to get a feel of how long people stay in their roles before moving on.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
