Timing your Career Development

Hello fellow Sales Savages,

I had a career opportunity recently present itself to move to apply for a BDR management position. Though it's a position I have been looking to develop into, I am about to move across the country in the next month.

My gut reaction is to wait until i'm settled into the new area to begin trying out a new role internally rather than try to relocate myself and onboard into a new role simultaneously.

What are your thoughts? Have you ever onboarded into a new role only to find it may have been the wrong time due to other life circumstances?

Let me know your thoughts.
