Amazon internal transfer

Current position involves significantly more travel than advertised. Thinking of starting a family soon so it wont be a good fit long term. This is non sde technical position. How soon can you realistically try for internal transfer at Amazon? TC 200 L5

Do you get to travel anywhere interesting?

You’re eligible to transfer literally the first day

But obviously it would be frowned upon wouldn’t it?

People have transferred within a few weeks of landing at Amazon. I left my first team in < a year. Sure, your manager might be angry, but what can they actually do? Nothing, short of PIPing you. Which I really doubt they would if you are that new. Team and position mismatches are a thing, and Amazon wants to keep those they hire. Your well-being > the company
