If I leave my current team which I joined in May of this year to go back to work on my old team under a different manager? It includes a promotion from entry level developer to mid level/senior, which I have not been doing any entry level work since I got on this new team.
My old manager had some of my old team mates to tell me he has a posting out there and that if I apply he won't even need to interview me, but he wants me to go through the process anyway. Same company, just would be going back to doing production support and development as opposed to just agile development.
I just don't want to look bad because I haven't had much time with my current manager, and they don't know what I'm doing half the time anyway. Only reason is it's a quick way to get promoted as opposed to waiting and hoping for a promotion and it would be closer to the turnpike from that area.
