Looking to leave current role as theres no room for growth despite exceeding performance. My manager is pretty supportive so thinking of telling him this week that I’m interviewing with other banks and may be close to offers soon. Any thoughts here?

Bad idea. Wait until you actually have some offers before bringing this up. The most supportive of managers may turn on you once they know you may leave and their hands are tied in terms of giving you more.

This is sound advice. Never mention anything until there is something concrete to consider. Interviewing could take a month from start to finish - and might not even amount to anything.

Wait...so you're going to tell your manager that you've got one foot out the door without actually having an offer in hand? No disrespect, but this is not the wisest idea. What if your manager says, "Ok, no problem. We are planning on making cuts anyway, so we'll just add you to the top of the list" and you have nothing to fall back on? I know you said your manager is supportive, but at the end of the day, it's business, and this isn't exactly the strongest market to be giving ultimatums. If you're truly unhappy, keep looking, go on interviews, entertain offers and once you've officially chosen and accepted one, THEN let your manager know. In other words, CYA.

Don't say anything to your Manager until you have an offer in hand. It just comes off as a threat and he may just decide to fire you then and there.

Never know how long it'll take to line up something right for you. In the event you're there through meet bonus season you don't want your manager having a reason to tank your bonus. Don't say anything till you have the offer in hand.

I think I would wait unil I had an offer. Even if your manager is supportive that doesn't mean they wouldn't stand with management over you. I would be careful with that.

Wait until you have an offer in hand. Not only does it minimize the risk of you being left without a job, it also gives you a better negotiation position. If your manager wants to keep you, you give him/her a chance to advocate for you wit HR using the competing offer as a benchmark.

Perhaps you should wait until after you receive offers. It would be the safer bet. Anyways, good luck on your new journey!

Hi! I have recently taken a step back from my Doctorate in Physical Therapy and am trying to find my next move. My family keeps recommending medical sales, my bank account recommends finishing the degree that cost me an arm and a leg, and my heart is conflicted in so many areas of interest - PT, Psych, sales, etc. I am currently working as a patient care technician but do not see this as my end goal. Any recommendations on sales vs PT vs psychology vs really anything? Thank you!!
