Can I get some likes please

Hi all, does anyone know of any recruiters or hiring managers that work in Affirm Inc. I've been applying for a couple of jobs with them . The role I have applied for I know lam a extraordinary fit for
100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.

Go for it, just be strategic about it. Keep doing great work in your current role so your reputation stays solid, but start expressing interest in growth during casual conversations with your manager or colleagues. If you can, find out what skills the new role requires and highlight how your experience fits. Also, if there's someone in that department you trust, maybe ask for their suggestions before applying.

Unless the internal position would be simultaneous to your current position, I don't see how you would be worried about your current work slipping. I would also recommend seeing how your company handles internal transfers. I've worked at places that required you to speak with your own manager about applying first, and I've also been at places that specifically do not want you to do that.
If the new position would still require you to work alongside your current one, I'd get very clear and thorough information on duties and expectations while still being a bit low key about it as you wouldn't want to ruffle any feathers. You need to make sure you wouldn't be taking on too much and have time for both.
I've had jobs that are very supportive of internal upgrades and those that are not (so much that my exec stopped the CEO approved transfer because they didn't want to lose me on their team).

It's okay! It was the best thing for me in that I left the low paying non profit world and now make more money than my exec does. I have a great supportive leader who encourages me to grow beyond this role if I so choose. ❤️
