Hey,
I have 12+ years of experience and would like to move to management ladder. I have been working with my manager for over a year to get there.
Couple weeks ago I got to know that my manager is leaving the company. I am worried that with his departure all the effort I put in over the last one year would be wasted. My manager mentioned that he has recommended me as his potential replacement to his skip(Director) but he(manager) is not sure if the company will back-fill the position or not.
My departing manager gave me the following suggestions so that I stay on track with my career goals:
- Have regular conversations with the skip(Director) and VP so that they know I am very much interested in moving to leadership positions
- Keep HR folks in the loop too, so that they can spot/help me with any managerial positions opening up outside of my org(different team in the company)
I have monthly skip level 1:1 & have mentioned this interest of mine(moving to management ladder) to him.
I am not sure how frequently should I talk to VP & HR as well as how to bring this career aspiration of mine to their notice. Should I have monthly sync's with VP & HR personnel too?
