UPDATE: I put in for the position. They also been interviewing external candidates for the position. I'm hoping for an interview next week. Thanks for the honest opinions everyone.
There is a supervisor position opening up at work. I was told by my direct lead that I should apply (she said it is very likely I would get the position).
The Pros:
-More $ (unsure of the exact increase at this point)
-More direct influence over what happens on the team.
-Less BS that I put up with now
-Moving to a new team/work stream (I don’t enjoy the work on my current team)
-It will look great on my resume as a ‘supervisor’
The Cons:
-My direct lead is moving to the new team, I would still report to her, which is an issue b/c she annoys the hell out of me at times (and she likes me almost more than a friend and wants to keep me close it seems).
-I’m giving up my old position BS, and getting new BS as a supervisor (dealing more directly with higher ups).
-The position is on an entirely new team and has a lot of flaws since its new (it will take time to make adjustments).
-With my current position, I’m usually able to leave at a set time. As a supervisor, I’d of course be required to attend late meetings and such.
Would you make the move?
