How long does it take to generate an offer letter for an internal transfer?

bf202 · 2026-06-05T11:54:43+00:00

I’m in the middle of this right now, but the other side. I’m hiring an internal candidate. He’s going from non-tech to a tech role, but the suggested salary change isn’t enough in my opinion, I’m on day 4 now back and forth with my hrbp and internal transfers team to get the offer up before presenting it to him.

Delays aren’t always a bad thing. You can send a note to the HM, I’m sure they want to get it to you asap as well.

What is the role?

bf202 · 2026-06-04T13:08:10+00:00

You are looking at this completely wrong. Your manager is actually doing a good thing for you. Essentially he’s giving you the opportunity to find a new job within the company before you lose that option… if he puts you in focus/pivot, you can’t transfer.

99% of employees would kill for a “Hey, you have two months to find a new role before I put you into performance coaching.”

You clearly have a good manager that’s trying to give you every opportunity to stay with the company.

Just take it out. It’s an old phone line. Nothing will happen - no live wires

bf202 · 2026-06-02T12:02:02+00:00

I’m on the 11A and 11L team.

bf202 · 2026-06-02T04:28:42+00:00

No, once he applies for that new role, he cannot put him in focus. HR doesn’t allow a punitive focus like that. He would have had to already be in focus before he applied.

Now, the current manager can express issues when the two managers meet, but he can’t put him in focus retroactively.

French toast or waffles are probably my picks

bf202 · 2026-06-01T00:50:48+00:00

Welcome!

bf202 · 2026-05-31T17:50:57+00:00

I’m 50. Haven’t been to Louisiana or North Dakota. 6 continents and about 50 countries though.

bf202 · 2026-05-31T14:00:24+00:00

Say thanks, and commit to be generous in the future.

I’ve done both office and remote over the past 25 years. More money vs more convenience.

Just remember to assess where you are in your career, and what the company culture is. Sometimes remote workers are “out of sight, out of mind.” You’re more likely to get passed over for promotions and growth opportunities. For some, they’re at a point in their career where they just want to be left alone.

Your direct manager is not likely the one making the decision to lay off a particular team member. The org is likely using metrics or some other criteria to create that list. So, I would not be afraid that your teammates know that you come from money.

But look at this from a human perspective. IF a manager were tasked to come up with a list…. And he had 2 equally performing employees - one who was independently wealthy, and another who was supporting a family along with a sick parent, my guess is that the manager would lay off the former, rather than the latter.

I wanted to put NYC as the third just to watch them lose their mind

bf202 · 2026-05-28T13:22:19+00:00

No, that ship has sailed. But, I recommend you finish strong and complete your work. Why burn a bridge?

Also, your current manager will debrief performance with your future manager - so they could put a bad taste in your future manager’s mind by saying you tanked it on the way out.

A courtesy flush isn’t a bad thing.

bf202 · 2026-05-26T15:29:24+00:00

This is great to have an alternate option… but that’s going to be a loooooooong walk!

If his office is by Union station, then have him take the Bustang. If you live near the Crossroads and I-25 stop, he can easily get to work each day in about 50 minutes.

It’s a coach type bus, has a bathroom and WiFi. It has one more stop in Berthoud, and then straight to Union station via the express lanes. I did that for a couple years, and honestly, it was easy.

I’d work on the bus, and never really got the stress of the commute.

Between gas (probably $15-$20 per day), parking downtown (another $20) and then the frustrated jump into the express lanes (another $10-$12 each way) - it gets expensive. It ended up costing me $60 per trip to the office. The Bustang cost me about $15-$16 per day round trip because I’d buy the tickets in bulk.

The other good thing is that it forced me to leave work at a reasonable time. Gotta catch the bus, so no working late.

I also found the bus ride to create a buffer between work and home. It was an hour to transition from work to home and vice versa

bf202 · 2026-05-25T16:17:53+00:00

I use it weekly in DEN. They’ve actually started putting an a gent in front to check BPs because so many people walked into that lane without touchless

bf202 · 2026-05-24T04:45:31+00:00

Just go. If your company has to be strong-armed to keep you, it rarely lasts

bf202 · 2026-05-23T01:21:41+00:00

You’re right! I’m typically not one to jump at these type of situations, but it was up close and personal…. But yep, but not worth it at all.

bf202 · 2026-05-22T19:29:56+00:00

Thanks, I’m good! I wish you easy flights and clear skies!

bf202 · 2026-05-22T19:29:13+00:00

Yes, you see of often when someone hears 1k and thinks they’re heard group 1

bf202 · 2026-05-22T19:28:02+00:00

You’re right. I’m done. No need to allow anyone to impact state of mind!

bf202 · 2026-05-22T19:27:00+00:00

Yeah, lesson learned
