So I just interviewed for an internal transfer, I talked to the whole team and it all went well. The thing i am worried about is my performance lately on my current team hasn’t been great and my performance review wasn’t good.

I have been on the team for 4 years, my first 2.5 years I was a top performer but after that I have felt very unmotivated because I have no interest in what I am doing. HR says they will call my manager as they want a reference, any advice on how to deal with this?

Agree with comments above. This is a hard one as you really don’t know how your manager will respond. Your direct manager knows you interviewed, did they say anything to you? A good manager will not be holding their employees back. As long as you are not on a lowest performer status, there should be no reason you shouldn’t be able to transfer.

Depends on how you and your manager interact. Honesty is powerful so if you’re on good terms and your manager supports the change let them know you were a little unmotivated but make sure the manager know it’s you not them so they don’t get defensive.
If it’s a bad situation between you two maybe your manager will see it as an opportunity to jettison you.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.
