Any thoughts on when it's OK to ask for a transfer within your agency? I'm a PD for parents in child welfare cases. I started in September 2021 after clerking for a year while studying and passing the bar. When I took this job it was not clear that it was all remote and I'm pretty miserable working in insolation. The regular criminal division is in person, at least to the extent that their hearings are in person. People ask for transfers all the time just not usually this early.

I don’t see any downside to asking/applying. The worst they can say is no.

If there is an opening in criminal, do it now. Better to get earlier rather than later. Since it sounds it acceptable to do within your agency, it should not be viewed negatively. Sounds like you have a valid reason, although do bolster your reasoning w something substantive about enjoying criminal work.

I mean you gotta do what suits you. Like if your a good enough worker, why wouldn’t they want to put you in a place you prefer, so long as they have an opening?

Do it. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Staying miserable in silence will only keep you miserable in silence. Even if they say no now because of some unwritten rule about time limits, it'll show them you're serious when you ask again six months from now.
