Submission + - How to change departments in IT ?
An anonymous reader writes: I am wondering how to go about changing departments at work? I currently work under the software development umbrella, but our organization is going through a change and it looks like oue department is getting a lot of new faces in a different country. I have already talked to the head of a different department and he is definately wanting to take me under him. But he asked me to talk to my current manager and get him to buy into the idea of me moving. If my current manager doesnt want me to go, I wouldnt be able to go. I am wondering if someone else was in that similar situation. How do I approach my current manager and tell him I want to change departments?
