Looking to get an internal transfer in bay area. Have couple of questions, help appreciated. How does internal transfer works in eBay? If I apply for a position in another team on workday, will my manager able to see that I have applied? How is the compensation decided for the internal transfer? Can I get a level bump? Will I get the signing bonus/equity if I switch the team? Will the hiring manager contact my manager? How should I go about this?
TIL eBay exists - I thought eBay had shut down years back.... What do they sell now? Used cars?

I’m pretty sure your manager will have visibility into this on Workday. I’m not sure if they’ll get an email notification. It’s also my understanding that you would talk to your manager as a courtesy before applying. It’s also my understanding that the hiring manager will contact your manager to collect feedback/discuss your performance. Don’t think you’ll get a sign on bonus. But your equity could potentially change depending on the nature of the transfer. I think there are a few pages about this on the Hub. They go into detail.
You need to spend at least 12 months in the current team. It is recommended that you should talk to your manager and tell about your plans. Afaik there will be no change in your sign on and rsu but company will adjust your base salary based on where you work. They will provide relocation bonus if moving to different state/city after team change.
Internal transfers are at same level, no compensation change. Changing teams will extend your wait time for a promo. Manager won’t find out until you accept another offer and your new manager initiates transfer.
@OP do you know if AWF can get a transfer to a different team? I am hired for San Jose location but want to stay in NYC after WFH ends so how to look for teams in NYC @ eBay????
No internal transfer for AWFs. If you change teams it needs to be a fresh contract. We have a high level directive to ramp down on AWFs, just FYI.
Ramp down as in terminate contracts?? Or to get less people on contracts and focus on full time direct ebay hiring?
