- Just joined intel and whole codbase is in different language, dont want to be in that (long rerm or now)
- i found a job in internal listings, know someone in that team that can possibly vouch for me
Concerns i have:
- talk to my manager about my plans before applying for the job, this can possibly hurt my career in the team.
- can it be done because I'll have to transfer visa as well?
- how should i approach this?
Any pointers will be helpful, thanks in advance

1) Apply to the new position
2) Have a 1:1 with the new hiring manager, and tell him/her why you are interested in the job. Also tell them that you've been in your current role X months. They should be able to tell you how to navigate the system.
3) Do the interview. Land the offer.
4) Talk to Fragomen about visa. There are ways to address visa issues. I've seen folks switch teams and BUs under H1B and pending green card applications.
5) Tell your current manager that you want to take the new job for x, y reasons.
If the managers you are working are good, they will understand and work with you. You're career is your own and managers understand it.
Good luck!
What are doT projects, are those the ones marked as "gigs" on workday? Where you can work for few hours.
Did you talk to second line or above ever?
Currently all teams in intel have a resource issue, so they definitely would like to stop me.
