I know we only ever talk about layoff stuff here….. but If I apply for a role in the bank through the internal career site does my manager get a notification (or anyone else from my team)? Thanks!

The new manager will reach out to the old manager on the DL. New manager gets the skinny (good or bad) on a potential new hire and old manager if they don't want to lose a DR will do their best to block. Best bet is to leave the company if you're nervous about feedback.
Dont bother applying if you are telecommuter who lives outside one of the core locations. Your application will never make it to the hiring manager because HR is screening them. I applied for over 20 roles and they were all auto rejected. Finally got one of the hiring managers on the phone who told me that HR is actively screening internal applicants to ensure they live near the core locations.
No, your manager won’t get a notification but if your potential new manager follows the hr process, they do speak to your current manager before you are extended an offer. They started this about 18mo ago but I will say I’ve seen it’s not consistently applied.
I’ve hired a number of internal candidates and I won’t ever contact the other manager until an offer has been accepted unless the candidate has already told me their manager is in the know. I also encourage my team to look for growth opportunities. Sure, I have people that are critical to me and I don’t want to leave, but I want to have a team of successful people looking to do great things.
If you take a job in another area, and it generally pays less than what you're earning, do you retain your current salary?
My manager was contacted directly by the other manager against protocol, so while its not SUPPOSED to happen, it does
I had a very good relationship with my manager, so I told them the moment I saw a position open that I wanted. Considering many people do not have a good relationship with theirs, i would agree with a previous commenter that you should make it clear in a 1:1 that you are looking for that next step in your career, so they aren’t surprised whenever they do find out you’ve applied elsewhere.
Thanks all. I appreciate the time and feedback. It means a lot.
When I applied for (and accepted) an internal move. I waited to after my 1st interview with the hiring manager. And I suggest doing that, that way if you dont like the role or you feel like you didnt have a strong interview. You dont makes waves with your current role, especially if the current role thinks you are content being there. Just my opinion.
Depends. The recruiter wont tell anyone unless you are inside 12 months current role. But the other hiring manager is a likely one to share. WF is not overall in support but hiring managers often reach out to a candidates current manager. What better way to get real feedback and detail about someone. Again due to lack of company support these conversations often take place without any documentation or record.
The other post is correct but I wanted to tell you that sometimes during screening or the interviews, they ask if you’ve told your manager. So, what I like to do is just say in a 1X1 or evaluation that Im looking to move up and for opportunities. This way, they cant be surprised. GOOD LUCK!
There's no reason to let your manager know until after you've accepted an offer.
Depends. The recruiter may not tell anyone but the other hiring manager might. No better way to get real info on a candidate then talk to their existing manager. Now WF does not really allow that so this of course all has to be kept on the DL. But make no mistake it happens all the time.
No. Your manager will only know when you tell them or when a hiring manager reaches out to talk about a start date after they’ve offered you a job. But you should be transparent with your manager and tell them once you begin 1st round interviewing (after your screening) at a minimum.
