Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

(There is a rule that you can switch jobs in under 12 months without your managers approval). So the manager sent me the job description and said she spoke to my manager, but it appears there was some miscommunication because my manager is saying she did not give her permission. Now What do I do, this would be a great move for me. However, the manager hiring will have to get multiple levels of approvals to give me this job bc it’s more than a 1 step promotion. Is it even worth it to rock that boat, what if it doesn’t work out and she doesn’t get the approvals she needs…

Thank you for your feedback. I actually learned about the miscommunication from the convo I had with my manager. She has always said she’s supportive of my growth, but I feel like if this other manager had not misunderstood their conversation she had no intentions on telling me about this. I somewhat believe she supports my growth but her follow through game is weak. She has so much personal going on which is on top of her already very busy business obligations I just don’t think she can keep track of it. I try to help her but anything that’s not a business priority continually gets pushed to the bottom of the pile which I feel like a plan for my growth would certainly be in that pile.

Can’t decide between reporting + technical roles vs corporate accounting roles. Coming out of audit and I like both aspects. Has anyone tried both sides and have any insights? Does one of these have higher salary potential? Does corporate accounting give you a higher chance of reaching a controller position since you’re actually in the GL, whereas technical + reporting will probably have you in a specialized group in larger companies?
