Looking for some avenues on how to transfer departments. I’m thinking of switching since I received my PMP certification. I’m working under tax department and would like to transfer into project based environment. I’m eager to increase my responsibilities and put my new certification to good use. Or should I look for another opportunity outside of my organization? Thoughts? Would really need some advice.
Thank you

I would start internally first before you look externally. Really promote your desire to move into this new area. Talk to those people who are already in that department to get a feel for what is needed and what you can expect. Poke around and get more info while you still are productive and executing in your current role.
