I recently joined Amazon (<30 days) and I’m starting to realize I’m not very happy or energized by the work I’m doing. I want to give it a chance and stick with the team for about 6 months to a year but if nothing changes, how soon could I look for a new team within Amazon?

I’m currently interning at AWS and I have team members who left one team for another within 6 months of being there. I was told, Amazon is encouraging it because there is such a high attrition rate they rather retain you than lose you.

Give it some more time. At least 3 months to see if things become better, keep looking around meanwhile.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
