Exit to a corp strategy function at a bank, and then use that to transition to managing a product (and it’s P&L).

There might be a step in between where you work exclusively on strategy for said product.

I’ve seen it done lots of times.

Build strong client relationships, so that one of them wants to hire you. Fast track to P&L does not come with strong resume and headhunter support. It comes with developing a close working relationship with someone in the C suite who wants to hire you.

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
