Joined Microsoft 6 months back as SWE 2 and don’t see a career growth in this team anytime soon. Team reorganized after I joined, don’t like the structure (6 SWE 2 at 62, 1 SSE).
Can anyone suggest when I should look for switching teams? Will it be considered too soon/ red flag if I switch now?
Or should I switch companies? Microsoft has good benefits and growth potential, but they already lowballed me.
Any suggestions would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance.

I think it’s little early to say about growth in the team.
Give some time and see.
I don’t think changing team in short period has any effect but it requires certain effort. Finding role, going through loop, etc.
But also if you are deciding, keep your current manager in loop rather than as surprise. When to communicate, you decide.
