I sometimes feel that my manager pretends to be nice to me. There are two people who are competing for the promotion. Myself and the other guy. I feel like he is secretly preferring the other guy without letting me know. I somehow don't get positive vibes. I want to move out of this team. I will be eligible for the Internal movement in the next 3 months. If there is an opportunity, how do I convince my manager to let me try for the internal job posting?

First make sure your work is top notch so there is no argument there. Then if you do need his permission to apply, you can say you want to grow your skills and career and this position seems to be something that can help your future. I was in that same position once and my boss insisted I stay. I actually found the other hiring manager and got to know him and that’s how my move happened. My great work in the other area stood out when I applied to the new manager’s department and there was no arguing then.

There are instances where a boss may try to block someone from moving on because they want to keep them around. But if you feel like you boss doesn't care for you anyway, that's probably not an issue. Just do a good job so your record will look good to the people you'll be applying to. And tell you boss you want to apply for the other position. Make it about the future, and don't criticize your boss or make it sound too much like you're trying to get away from him.

You don’t need his permission to apply for an internal role. You can just apply and let him know this is what you’re doing.

That’s kind of dumb. You applying for an internal position is like any external candidate applying for the position. It should be treated the same way.

Also, I would have a discussion with your boss and tell him you’d like to apply because this position will better help you reach your career goals. If he doesn’t agree, I would start looking for a new job asap. No one should be able to control what position employees want to apply for. It’s a huge red flag.

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.
