What’s the etiquette around applying to two diff positions in same company (Big 4 firm)?

The 1st role , I just completed 2nd round (or 3) for. As I spoke to the team more about it, seems like the role is l different than what I expected (more operational than consulting).

I then came across a diff role (in a diff practice) which aligns with background. It’s also a step up (promotion) from my current role, not a lateral -as is the case with 1st role.

Should I speak to HR…

I think it’d be better to make this move internally- as in get the role you’re interviewing for first then the other one later.

I have applied for about 8 roles at another top 4 and interviewed a few but it wasn’t the right fit for me and/or them.

Generally it’s totally different recruiters even within what appears to be the same team. Never a problem

like

and/or the current hiring managers regarding this move, out of good faith? and how do I best deliver the message? I had just applied to the second role on the website.

If I get an interview with the second role, if possible, wouldn’t want to burn bridges with those who interviewed me for the first role.

I know ideally I shouldn’t be applying to two roles in the same firm, but I also can’t put my career aspirations and progression on hold (by not applying to the 2nd role) - especially upon the gradual discovery that the first role is not exactly as expected.
