What’s the best way to tell your manager you want to switch teams? Looking to either switch to a different job role or leave the company, so I’m leaving the team either way

Sometimes you have to tear the bandaid off but you can do it without being a terrible person. Schedule a meeting with your boss and be honest with them, tell them you’d like to switch teams and give a couple reasons why (don’t make it about negative stuff, look for positive things to point out that help YOU).

Don’t bring up quitting under any circumstance and see what they say about switching. Good luck.

But I’d prefer to move within my current company to learn new skills than to leave entirely, if possible

Maybe you could write and print a memo explaining your request to supplement a meeting you call with your manager. That way it's a little more formal than an email request. Mainly, be respectful with the request and it should be okay.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.

I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.
