That’s tricky. I would bet they’ve already heard it through some other source, depending on the role. I was in a similar situation, though I’ve been client-serving for 2.5 years. I had to tell my counselor and they highlighted all the negatives and were generally unsupportive of it, despite claiming to support whatever decision I made. They also told me that leadership had heard it from somewhere else as well. Ultimately did not get the position and after all that was not allowed to roll off a miserable project, but was promised a project that aligned with my interests next year. So I’m possibly about to go through having to tell my manager about another internal interview if I get past this round, and it will be extremely awkward.

Just be prepared for them to act like the world is ending because you had the thought of being non client-serving. "Internal positions are seen as expenses” is what I was told.
