My boss has been more than hinting that if I apply for the promotion to be the department manager, I'd definitely get it. The thing is, I am not as experienced as my colleague who is also a good friend. He's very excited about the promotion (he keeps talking to me about it) and believes he's going to get it. I know that he'd be good at the role too. I feel two faced because I didn't have the heart to tell him my boss has dropped many hints that I'm his preferred choice. I was caught off guard the first time he talked about it that I told him to go for it.
Do I go for the promotion even though I don't think that I am the best candidate and feel like I need time to grow into the role? I feel like a fake and as I am relatively new to the company I think it will upset many senior people. I do think it's a great career opportunity and while I am scared, I would love to give it a go.
