Same company 100%. You won't find many companies willing to hire someone externally who only has IC experience into management.

I went went from senior to tech lead while changing companies to work for the same manager, and then from tech lead to manager within the same company. Have since switched to EM at other companies. I've never seen an example of someone going from IC in one company -> EM in another company.
