The short answer is yes it’s worth it.
Long answer: make sure you have some sort of leadership on the other team that truly wants you. Politely explain to your current director this isn’t in line with your goals blah blah blah. But I would want to be sure the new team is going to take me if I initiate this process.
As his only report I basically do everything for him but with no recognition and I've gotten minimal training/coaching from him because we started at the same time. I don't think we're I'm at is a good fit long-term because of this dynamic.
Since I'm his only report, I know he won't be receptive to me trying to switch and if I do apply to the other team I'm afraid he'll find out.
Is it worth taking the risk of applying to the other team? And if so do you have any recommendations on how to approach it?
Another caveat is that although I find the other team's work more interesting, it's on an internal non-revenue generating role whereas I'm currently on a team that generates revenue. Since I'm at a not-profitable startup this is another concern during this current environment as I'm assuming an internal role is more likely to get laid off.
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated!
