I mentioned to my reporting manager that i'm interested in a role that came up in another internal team. In addition to try to convince me that its not a right fit, they tried to guilt trip me about the hoops they jumped to hire me.
Am i supposed to feel guilty or ungrateful for wanting to pursue an opportunity that i'm interested in? While they were never interested in my career growth all this time

Nope! This is a tactic that a lot of managers try - just had this happen to me. You are in charge of you - they're not your real dad.

Even if they WERE interested in your career growth, you're still the pilot of your own life. Do the thing that is right for you - no company will bother.

How long have you been in your current role?

If it was like 6 months on the job, I would understand the Manager's point of view.

But 3+ years, forget them. You definitely need to take the bull by the horns! Best of luck!
