'He’s not entitled to know where you’re interviewing. And he’s not entitled to insist on the chance to try to convince you each time that his company is a better spot for you.'
I’ve been working as an assistant/coordinator at a small company for a little over a year now. I like it fine and my boss values me, but I feel like it’s time for me to move on. There’s not a ton of work to do, especially when splitting it with the more junior assistant, and I find myself exceedingly bored throughout the day. I’m early in my career and I’d like to take my next step to a bigger company with more name recognition and opportunities for advancement.
I have an important interview coming up at one of these larger companies. When I tell him, I know he’s going to be upset, because if I’m going to stay in the same industry, why not just stay here? What he’ll hear is that the business he’s built isn’t good enough for me. Which, honestly, is somewhat true — I just don’t know how to say it.
Because of all that, people don’t often let their managers know when they’ve decided to interview for other jobs. There are exceptions to that, of course. Some managers make it safe to confide in them when you’re ready to move on by demonstrating that they won’t react poorly, push you out, or pry into your plans in ways that would be unwelcome. And some jobs are clearly designed to be shorter term, and it’s openly acknowledged that you should be looking after X amount of time.
If we had a time machine, I’d tell you to go back and be more close-lipped from the beginning. And he definitely doesn’t need to know each time you’re leaving for an interview.
