I recently interviewed for a position that was for a more senior title...
I was told in my current role at a junior title, there wasn't much room for growth and my boss could try and find some goals for me to eventually get me to the Senior level.
I have over 10 years of work experience and know my skill set and expertise warrant growth in my current role and career. Needless to say, I applied for an internal role within my current company that has a bump in title. I think I may get it as I am one of the finalist in the hiring process.
I am very comfortable in my current position and I do great work. But it is no longer challenging and hearing there is no room for growth is disappointing. This new role would be a pretty big shift from what I do now. I KNOW I can do it, but like any change it will have new challenges.
I am not sure now if I should make a move. I am afraid I may fail at this new position, when I know I am currently succeeding in my current role.
Any advice on if I should stay or go? Is it always good to look for other opportunities just cause I want and think I deserve I better title? I really wanted it before I thought I actually might get it. Now I am second guessing myself.

Is it normal to start employment before the background check clears? Mine is taking a while but the new company is pushing me to start before the background check clears. I'm not expecting any red flags to come up but I also don't feel comfortable starting without the contingencies…

Change is always scary , but learn to embrace it , try to be more confident in yourself and honestly if you couldn’t do the job I doubt you would have gotten this far or received help from your manager , I have never heard of promoting someone just because they ask so you have skills and you’ll learn more it will be energizing and exciting go for it !
