In a nutshell should I APPLY for this job...or would it look bad professionally.
Same company for 5 years and worked in 1 department lets say its compliance.
Became a "first level" manager after 2 years. 1 year after that stepped into a more senior role to support the department during a tough time- no extra pay or job title change initially and this happened after 6 months- so i was then level "1.5" lets say
2-3 months later my job was rebranded as level 2. Job title changed and pay- but my job has pretty much stayed the same for 1 year its just that people could see i was doing more than my job title and paygrade
So I have had my "new" wage and job title for around 3 months only.
Another department- lets say its the quality team- have a role advertised which is more senior job title and more money than what i am on now. Would i be stupid to apply seeing as ive only "officially" been in my job a handful of months, but have been technically doing it for just over a year? Obviously i may not get the job but jist thinking would I looo unprofessional or like a job hopper?
Thanks in advance
