Don't ask me how I know but my boss met up with a headhunter recently and I think he is in talks to move to another company. I know it sounds a little predatory to ask but my question is, if he does leave, is there a chance for me to get promoted to his position. I know the chances are slim as in comparison I’m not as experienced as he is but I have learnt the ropes and when he is out of town I’ve been charged with running the team and daily operations. How can I show upper management that I’m ready to step up? Or do you think they will just hire externally? It would be great to move up and hopefully on a higher pay grade. Any advice?
