I work at Microsoft, and I'm currently interviewing to join another team internally. Is it possible for my current manager to get involved in that decision and stop it from moving forward?

I’ve heard of it happening but usually after the interviews go well and you get the offer to move. Whenever your current manager is notified (or if you notify them), there’s always a possibility of them shutting it down in different ways. That said, a good manager would actually know that it’s beneficial for their employees to grow and expand their experience through other roles.

There are specific documented HR rules for internal transfers. You should find them and read them.

like

If everyone follows policy, your manager will not be informed until after you have been offered and have accepted the new position. You will typically be given the opportunity to tell your manager yourself. (And if you have a good relationship with him/her, you should do this.)

Generally, your manager is then expected to work with your new manager on a transition plan. Two weeks is pretty typical. If you're working on a critical project, your current manager can request that your transition period be longer.

Having said that, there are always managers that break the rules or say something that they shouldn't. But in my experience, most managers support internal transfers because it leads to engineers working on projects that they're passionate about (instead of being stuck on one that they don't care about).

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

The other is a great opportunity for me to lead a team and a whole program with a little less money than the other role. Would it be bad if I join the 2nd role then leave in a few months for the 1st one if I got an offer?
