if you haven't had your review yet and they see you applied for the new position, well maybe you're worth a lot to them, enough to match or even go slightly above the pay grade of what the new position would be..
it all depends on how you feel about your job security there..certainly don't take a risk if there is a way you can lose out in both spots and end up not working there..
See, this was part of my thinking. I came in Monday and told our management above my level of my application to that job. Later that same day I had my eval. It sang my praises, but there was nothing other than "you're awesome" to acknowledge my commitment to the department.
Over the past year my direct reports have doubled and my duties have increased outside of just that as well. My job description should be completely different than what it is, but no effort has been made to even accurately reflect in my employee work profile what my job actually entails. They made me feel much better about my decision to try to leave this department as I feel I am undervalued.
Now I'm just waiting for a call/email about an interview.
