Has anyone had any experience posting for an internal position prior to being in your current position for the required 12 months. I’m thinking about asking my manager for approval to post out but I’ve only been in this job for 10 months. I wouldn’t be surprised to be told no but not sure how big of a deal leaving before the 1 year is.

I saw a position I was interested in and my manager supported my decision to apply - she said she didn't want to hold me back from an opportunity. See, that's a leader.
Due to staffing shortages we are a strict 1 year rule. Don’t even ask until 12 months to the day. It will be rejected. The rule is there because People use it to get licenses & job hop.
if you are miserable then be honest and ask, if you can manage for however long the. I say wait it out. While you will probably be fine if you answer the question dishonestly, there could always be a risk. The hiring manager will need to talk to your current boss and if it's the first time your manager is hearing about this it could cause trouble.
A few years back I told my manager I interviewing when I was pretty deep into the process for a position. While I made it to the final round I ended up not getting the job and to this day I feel like it was held against me that year during performance review. Now I have gone back to only telling managers when I have an offer and just before the hiring manager reaches out.
I'm not sure about the nature of your job, but speaking from my experience as a Data Management Manager, I'd advise caution. Unless there's a dream job waiting for you in Workday, it might be wise to wait until the 12 months are up. I don't see the advantage of alerting your manager before year-end reviews. In just two months, you can be honest about your intentions and start your job search discreetly. Use this period to polish your resume and engage in networking. Remember, there can be repercussions for dishonesty. If your tenure is less than 12 months, the standard procedure is to seek approval from your manager. This is just my personal opinion. If anyone has a different viewpoint, I'd appreciate it if you could share your reasoning. This way, the original poster can make a well-informed decision.
Recruiter here. Be honest on your application and sincere in your interest when applying for any position, internal or external.
Don’t listen to @1aox. I’ve been here 10 years and at least 4 times I’ve applied before my year. HR doesn’t ask the question in their screening anyway. They ask how many years experience do you have in X and behavioral questions before passing you to the next stage. @dpd is correct. Worst case scenario you’ll be confronted and just say you thought it had been a year. 10 months, 12 months, who cares. They only have this preference to curb us from position hopping but it’s the fastest way to move up. I earn 4Xs what I did 10 years ago. It takes a while and you may not get the first job you go after so do it. No one has been fired for “lying” on this question.
I did it a few years back, moved to a role that ended up not aligning to my expectations so after 7 months I asked my manager if I could post out and she was cool and said yes. really depends on your manager because they can say no and with all the various hiring freezes and backfilling in India they may not want to risk losing the position. as for applying without getting permission that could get you in trouble or fired because there are questions about if you have been in your role for 12 months or have manager position. they find out you lied they could probably fire you if they wanted
Apply first, and it will ask if your mgr is aware, answer no. If you get an interview and get the job then tell your mgr. Don’t worry, that’s what manager is for, to manage. And most likely the manager will not hold it against you just because you apply. Done many times finally worked out.
I second what @dpd+1on0F6mQ said. The process moves soooo slow.
Yes, but it was a long time ago in a Wells Fargo far, far away.
As long as you took your compliance training you’ll be solid
Just apply - the internal interview process will take longer than 2 months and then bo-m you hit 12 month mark. Also it is always good to practice interviewing and having a current resume.
