Agency Career Pivot

I’ve just started as an associate in media buying at one of the big HolCos. However, I plan to pivot out of the current OpCo (sub-agency) of the HolCo, as well as move to media planning within the same HolCo. I was told when thinking about moving to another OpCo and/or function, it’s best to be transparent with manager. I also just want to be promoted as quick as possible every year (as I’ve seen happen with others) until I make manager.

In terms of moving internally; when is best to do this? Should I:

1. Wait until I get promoted to Sr. associate in current role then look to move to Sr.associate in planning

2. Move to Planning as soon as I’m able to but stay as an associate

3. Don’t wait until promotion in current role, and apply to become a Sr. Associate in planning while being an associate in current role.

Ik this is confusing lol but appreciate any help!
