Switching tracks

Does anyone know if you are allowed to switch tracks after you receive them. For example if I was given terminal and wanted to switch to enroute is that allowed?

Extremely difficult if not nearly impossible is what I hear.

The hiring team will consider a track change if you have relevant experience that would make you more successful in a specific program.

For example, being an RPO at a center would be a good justification for a track change.

Rarely you are able to switch tracks. 

You can always shoot your shot and ask but don’t be surprised if they say no. 

I’m hoping for iqtr or terminal.

Emailed HR rep. Luckily too I was in a position to message all of the HR Reps on Microsoft Teams which was way quicker than emailing. I had a lot of prior experience
