How does this apply to switching teams within a company?

Currently on my first real job out of college and after 6 months not really feeling this team. I know Amazon has more dev-ops work than most companies for SDEs, but my current team feels like it has too much. I don't feel I'm actually learning much about programming or software design.

I am considering switching teams to try and find something a bit more programming focused. Interested in hearing feedback.

If you read this: I would feel free to try to switch teams without anxiety, all else being equal. IME you can hop a few times without anyone thinking twice, especially early in your career.

The point is that you just don't want to establish a pattern of "something always seems to prevent this person from staying at a job for more than ~1 year". If the job content is better on the new team that's really important early in your career.

Good luck!
