I was recently looking at my company&#x27;s careers website to find a friend a job posting, and noticed a very interesting opportunity in a new part of the company. I&#x27;d like to be considered for the role, but it&#x27;s entirely unrelated to my current role (I work in engineering&#x2F;product development, this position is more financially focused). Because of this, I think it&#x27;s an outside shot that I would get the position. I&#x27;m worried to tell my current boss about my interest in the role, as he may assign me to worse projects if I don&#x27;t get the position. Who should I talk to about the position: the internal recruiter, hiring manager, and&#x2F;or my current boss? Should I even consider it, or should I just try to find a similar position outside the company?<p>For some context: I&#x27;m currently at my first job outside of college (been here for almost 3 years) and it&#x27;s a very large company.
