Hello everyone, I accepted an offer with Amazon as a new grad SDE1 in their Seattle office. Even though I wanted to stay on the east coast, this was by far my best offer and would give my career a huge jump start. However, my SO currently lives in NYC, and I wanted to ask Amazon employees (or ex-employees) how easy it is, in their opinion, to change locations. Specifically, change locations to the NYC offices. Also, would switching locations at all impact your standing with the company or make you more likely to be PIP'd? I would ideally like to change after 1 year (or less if possible).
I switched teams after 6 months. Shouldn't be an issue if you can find a team that'll take you. NYC might be harder than other offices though
