If you want to grow or expand your role, you need to go for. Don't wait for someone in the company to bring it up. Internal moves usually take a while to get momentum, so if you feel like you want to grow, start "proving it" by doing it today. (Makes it easier when the opportunity arises.)

If you don't get the job, but you have demonstrated that you are capable of more, I don't see how this could hurt you in your current department. If you are looking for a new challenge, looking within the company that you already like is a more positive method than looking elsewhere. I understand your point that no amount of pay or promotion is going to satisfy you for long - if you don't like the company that you are in. if you do like it, and you want to be a long term member of the team, then exploring the options available within the company is a good strategy - IMHO Promoting someone that is more appreciative instead of the more qualified candidate is old school thinking - companies today can't survive with that mentality. You can't be worried about burning bridges by doing a good job. J Hey Avery – i see your point, but I think it’s all in the way you go about it.

I understand your point that no amount of pay or promotion is going to satisfy you for long – if you don’t like the company that you are in. if you do like it, and you want to be a long term member of the team, then exploring the options available within the company is a good strategy – IMHO

Promoting someone that is more appreciative instead of the more qualified candidate is old school thinking – companies today can’t survive with that mentality. You can’t be worried about burning bridges by doing a good job.

You've already shown signs of not wanting to stick around so any further investment in promoting you instead of someone more likely to appreciate it just seems like a waste to me. One thing I'll always remember from college is the lesson that once you've decided your unhappy at your job and decide to leave there is very little to change that. Unless it directly addresses the original problem then a boost in pay or promotion isn't going to satisfy you for long. The article is so positive and reassuring in the results with no hint of possible negative feedback from your manager at all. Does it normally go so easily? Nice seeing comments from former a HR Assistant in this section as well. If you don’t get the job, would this damage your career path within the department you’re already in?

Sometimes, if you are a good employee, your current boss would rather keep you instead of letting to go to another department. So convincing him/her is also part of the deal. One possible resolution is is spin the move as a win-win-win for everyone involved. Another thing is to make sure that there are people in your current group skilled to do your current job so your leaving is not a hardship on the team. Another factor to consider:
