You should definitely keep looking, only stop when a firm offer is in hand (there are no guarantee on her end at the moment). Also looking for a job does not equate you in taking the position so you could be offered by another firm but if your director has a solid offer to follow her, you can decide from there.

Solid advice from JBA1. A great boss is worth sticking with (or at least considering). But she hasn't given you any details yet or a concrete offer, so you should continue your search. In the meantime, try and get more details from her- timeline, company/industry, etc.

A good boss is a great negotiation point in a job offer situation. It’s a great pivot/ launch point for your next role.

Ex. Thank you for the offer of $120k. I have a great situation at work and my boss trusts me completely. She/He has promoted me into this role. Because of this relationship and the unknowns during a transition, I could only leave for $135,000.

A great boss can keep your career moving. I’ve had both good and bad bosses.

My mentor told me that a good boss can put you forward 3 years. Or set you back 2. He also said I shouldnt worry about the industry, or pay if the boss is stellar. Not sure of your position or boss, but my $0.02.

Might be worth tell your boss your really like working for them and candidly ask her her timeline and what they're looking to transition to.

I'm also <1 year out of school. Not sure how applicable this is once your career is started. Good luck!

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first.

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
