Internal position question?

Queue

If one is told the following about an internal position what should they assume?

-"They have already made a decision and everyone should hear something shortly."

Does that mean that someone has already been contacted by HR and they are going through the details, before making the acceptance/offer announcement?

After being told the above I've lost hope on the promotion.

It could mean anything really, but, I read it as "We've decided who we're going to pick, we'll inform that person and everyone else, shortly".

Who knows what they mean? Just keep your options open until you hear otherwise.

Good to hear it may not be the end. Jobs I'm qualified are scarce this time of year it seems. Will update the thread whenever I have a definitive answer.

South east is pretty broad. Large or small city? What industry?

If they did not give you a salary range up front for the position, I am assuming they are going to pay you a little more than your current earnings to sweeten the new position, or at least this has been my experience.

Congrats on being offered the job!

Agreed with Ande, my guess is 15% more than you are making now.

Healthcare and a capital city. I already have signed the papers I was just wondering if it was competitive. I was looking for random numbers people throw out.

Thanks everyone! I'm very happy. A lot of studying and working hard while at work. Also networking with the other teams was important.

Cool, congratulations. That is the best way to move up, network with other groups and make those relationships work for you.

National average for CCNA was 55k last I checked. It's a full-on Admin position, not a junior. So I'd shoot for at least 50-55k. With experience under your belt and a couple more certs within a year, I'd try to get bump to 55-65.
