It is better not.

Not mean to be discouraging. 

"去年畢業時，intern時的大老板對我說現在沒opening , 今年初有人退休，可能招人，說我是top-notch. "

-- From this sentence alone, it really doesn't mean anything. It was nice that you gave him a positive impression. Unless you were a super intern who outperformed experienced employees, a big boss wouldn't treat you significantly different.

"大老板是Hiring manager 的boss, 這次不在interview panel裏，很不正常." 

-- It is perfectly normal. It is a junior position. The boss of the hiring manager is usually not involved in such hiring process, unless it is a small start-up, like with 15 employess only.

"也不知道Hiring manager 讓我麵試 是否隻是給大老板 或我一個麵子而已，並不打算招我 (通常隻麵3-4 人而已)"

-- That might be one reason. Most possibly, it is due to your experience as an intern there. If an intern does well, a company would like to give her/him a higher priority in hiring. Interviwing is hard. It is normal that a good interviewee turns out to be a bad hire. So it is a safe bet to hire people you already know and worked with. Another factor is professional courtesy. It is considered very mean to not even give an interview to a good intern, if the intern is local.

"剛聽說大老板在麵試期間計劃休假，我和原公司的好友都覺得他是故意回避. 因為雇我會得罪政府部門，不雇我，以後還需要常和我聯係，比如我月底就要去audit原公司， 大老板接待"

-- No offense. You and your friend over-evaluate yourselves. One couldn't become a big boss if one doesn't know how to play the game, especially one has to deal with government. Believe me. The hiring is the least of his concerns.

"不知道Hiring manager 和大老板是怎麽想的，以前大老板對我不錯，9個月的時間可以改變很多事。"

-- Nothing changed. You over-think. The big boss acts very professionally. Nothing unusual. 

The primary consideration are what is the relationship between the company and your department. They work closely, but how closely? What is the relationship between your boss and the big boss? If you are hired by the company, will your current manager care?

If your current manager may get irriated, the company wouldn't hire you no matter what. They will give an interview, which is a good opportunity to strengthen a professional relationship, both for you and the company. It is a different story for you, though. If your current manager heard of your interview, it is not a good thing. It is a small world. In your case, most probably it would happen due to the close relationship between the company and your department. If you are not sure, the safe bet is not to take the risk. Don't worry the low salary for your first year. Pay attetiono to learn and improve your skills, which is the long term investment strategy.

If you can easily find another job, it is another story.
