Is it frowned upon to move to a different position within the same agency after only 5 months in your current role?

Usually doesn’t matter. But check with HR - your company might be different. At least let them know you’re interested way in advance of the 1-year mark because it may just take that long to move.

It’s a dumb rule - but every agency I’ve worked at had it and I’m 23 year in

NP. Good luck!!

Do what is best for YOU. If you’d like to make the jump, then I say go for it. Forget the arbitrary rules. But, be prepared to speak to and defend why you’re doing so

I started out as a print producer but let my boss know I eventually wanted to transfer into account. 10 months in, an AAE left and I took their spot! It can happen, but 5 months is probably a little too soon.

It helped that the girl at reception wanted to break into a full time advertising role, so she took on my print producer role.

Rejecting offer discussion or offer letter will impact? Will TCS block me for a lifetime.

He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
