How long should you stay at a new internal position before leaving to go to a new company?
I’ve been at company 1 (public sector) for 1.5 years. Recently applied for and received internal posting and have been here for a month. Recently applied for well qualified spot at company 2 (also public sector) in neighboring city that provides extensive salary increase. Application process typically takes about 3-4 months. New current position is great, only downside is the pay, even though it’s a small leg up from the first job. That being said, is it a bad look if I jump to the new job at company 2 after only being the there for a few months? I’ve recently got the hang of job duties and training, starting to acclimate to new environment, building, coworkers etc and would feel bad about leaving and I wanna know if there would be any repercussions if and when company 2 calls company 1 to ask about me.
