Relocating to Stamford CT in a few months. Any suggestions on the area- food, nice places to explore on weekends, etc? Also looking for an apartment (1br/studio, max base rent ~1,500) if anyone has rented there!

Hi all - I came into HR wanting to grow within the field, been a coordinator for about 2yrs now and I’m realizing that corporate isn’t for me and currently in school transitioning into tech. My manager is still under the impression that I want to grow within the field. How do I even let them know that I’m transitioning into something else? Or do I not and leave when I find a new opportunity? I also want to look within my company for new roles as well, not sure what to do!
