What should I do if my manager won’t support an internal transfer? I am interviewing for a role that I like in another team. My current team is extremely busy right with multiple projects. However, this new role recently became available and I’d welcome the opportunity to join this new group. Although I felt guilty of even considering other roles and potentially leaving my team at this critical stage, I know I have to do this move for my own career growth. My concern is with my manager...cont’d

...what if he won’t allow such move and give me a bad recommendation to keep me and prevent the transfer? I will feel bad either way. So am I stuck? I have been with my team for over 10 years.

I’ve been contemplating on this as well.

I’m in a similar position. Been feeling stagnant at my project for the last year now despite voicing my desire to leave. I’m currently leveraging an outside offer to get a switch but this is my first time doing this so Idk if I can recommend doing it.

Same here .. thinking of just leaving firm..as manager still won't approve my release from current team

Move. Had a friend with a similar situation at Harvard University. She left for a different job when a manager blocked her transfer. Ten years on one team is enough.

I love Liz Ryan’s articles :)

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
