Canada based hiring manager here who’s held multiple roles at RBC. You can leave at any time, just be sure to know what to answer when they ask you during the interview why you’re leaving so soon. And no you don’t need your manager’s blessing. Depending on your relationship you might want to give them courtesy of letting them know, but it could put you at a disadvantage

What position are you leaving and what are you looking to join?

Is this a transition within the company? If it's not, then I'd say 6-12 months would be good. Generally no, you don't your manager's approval before leaving.

I would say you should stay in one role at least 6 months but preferably 9-12 to avoid looking like a fairweather employee. I assume you mean before switching to another role in the same company?

If you want to leave the company to pursue another role, you can leave whenever you want. However, if you're trying to switch departments within the company, I would stay in the current role for at least a year. You will need approval or a sign off from. your manager before switching.

6-12 months is ideal, but this is usually a case by case scenario. If you can present a good enough reason why you want to switch and your managers approve then you should be fine.

Typically companies require you to stay in a role for atleast a year. Some companies i have worke at required you to be in the role for atleast 18 months which totally sucks.

It depends on the group and your level in the organization.

Yes. You might not be grinding in a spreadsheet but you will need to bring business which means you replace the spreadsheet hours with BD hours.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
