Message: <blockquote data-quote="SportsThoughts" data-source="post: 29195" data-attributes="member: 2221">I've been in a similar position to this and unfortunately the answer really does depend. I was interning at a company for a year where there were no opportunities post internship were discussed. It was addressed by my interviewers that I had obviously taken the law path and I made it clear at that point that my plan was to continue on it after my internship which they expected and were fine with - my manager didn't interview me but the team did.Within the first month I received an interview invitation for a direct TC application. Being the transparent person I was/am, I informed my manager that I'd be taking the morning off and it wasn't a pleasant meeting. I was told that I was making a huge mistake by applying to firms amongst other things, as I assume he felt threatened. Unfortunately not everyone understands that sometimes a job is a job, and people move on. Even so when you might be on a fixed term contract and you're hedging yourself for when that contract expires OR in the case of a training contract when you have to apply 2 years in advance. My advice would be to make your intentions for internal progression at the firm as clear as day and perhaps not your intentions to apply elsewhere. Ultimately should they decide to not offer you the internal TC and you secure something elsewhere, they can't be surprised. It sounds like your relationship with your manager is good which I hope would mean that they back you for the TC or if you move on, they shake your hand and wish you all the very best as any good manager would, after a last ditch attempt to keep you - obviously. I know this doesn't give you the definitive answer that you might be looking for but hopefully it sheds light on a couple of factors you addressed <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
