    Hi all

    I have been in a 3 year contract with my current employer and coming up to mid point. I am enjoying it but at 30 I am considering other options purely because of the mortgage situation. Another position, which is closely related to my current job but in another company, has a permanent more senior role that I would like to do.

    I want to apply to this role but am very happy here... I am worried that applying to other company will get back to my current team as my industry is very small.

    Anyone been in a similar boat?

    There is no law which says they can't discuss amongst themselves or their friends that you applied for a role there, so in theory the fact that you applied could make it back to your current employer.
    I wouldn't let this stop you applying for the position.
