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!

My boss the general manager is setting me up at work. She is saying all this stuff about me that is not true at all. But when I come into her shift or come into my shift after hers nothing is done for me. A lot of the prep is not done. And she complains about me not doing the prep. Stuff Is still dirty. One day she left the grill on. Etc. There was another manager there training to run another store and she said I basically do a lot of the work while she doesn't do much. So she stood up for me.

I hate my project manager. They constantly get credit for my work, don’t pay attention in meetings and leave early.
Today they literally asked me what the roadblock was 30 min after we got off a call that they were on their phone the whole time during. Then they were asking when everyone’s flights were because they wanted to leave early but didn’t want to be the first to leave since they’re staying the weekend and they then just up and left at 2pm. It’s ridiculous.
