What’s it like to move internally?

Curious to hear from anybody who has switched teams - for example from DCM to LevFin, or between different M&A groups.

Any awkwardness if you are screened out of a process and you then see that hiring manager who dinged you in the office, do the hiring team ask your current manager for a reference…?

Interested in doing so at some point, but worried about confidentially of the application etc.
