Yes it’s helpful because you’ve already built relationships with key people. They know you and they know your work.

I moved laterally because I just NEEDED to leave and it was the first opp that came my way. Switched again 6 months later to a better role, 0 regrets

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff. Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!

Currently at a job where I just don’t like people or the work all that much. Fewer clients possibilities (we’re basically an in-house team) than our sister office plus I have no desire for a promotion. Sister office is much more of an actual agency plus the culture is way more up lifting- I can vouch personally. I would love to transfer to the other office or just look for new opportunities. How do I bring up wanting an internal transfer without making it sound like I will leave otherwise?
