Have accepted an offer for L61 but after talking to the HM, I’m not getting a very good vibe. Also there is a disconnect on some aspects that I was not expecting. I know this is pretty late as I’ll be joining soon, but can I still change the team?

I already know another team’s HM that I like and can talk to. Is it possible to change the team now OR I must stay for at least 6 months in this team?

I actually wanted to avoid such situation and wanted to talk to the HM of the team I’ll be assigned to but the recruiter never let me talk, he simply said once you accept and move forward only then you’ll get a chance to know the exact team and HM you’ll be working with.

      Thank you all 🙏. It’s def a bummer but in a few months I’ll still try to reach out to the HM that I like since one of my friends recently joined his team, if things doesn’t go too well in this team. Hoping for the best.

  • There is no minimum time in role. If you are trying to change teams do it as soon as possible else you will have your first connect(performance feedback tool) filled in by your current manager. A bad connect/feedback can cause more problems in changing teams later. Also, it is better if you are with 1 manager for an entire year or review cycle rather than splitting it.
