Ask HN: Contemplating About My Current Job/Career

It's much, much easier to get "moved" within your company than finding a new job.

I think you should set a time limit. Let's say 3 months.

Be consistent in talking with your manager and expressing that you want to make a change.

Begin to look and test the market during the 3 months.

At the end, go in and try not to give an ultimatum but just be clear you are now checking out other opportunities that "might be a better fit".

If they don't respond, change jobs.

Thanks for the feedback. I have considered telling them I am looking for other opportunities. I feel that might give off a bad vibe, or have them respond negatively.
