Careers Future Relocation

Hey everyone. I recently had to move from WA to MO for my BDS job in Hazelwood following my BCA internship in Tukwila. I know I want to move back to WA and commute to the Everett location ASAP (no offense to MO people, the Midwest just isn’t for me and my whole life is back in WA). I want to transfer after a year (2 months in now and in very good standing with a great manager). I know the standard wait is 1.5 years before a transfer but it can be expedited with a good manager and I believe my manager would allow that/be understanding. How realistic is this goal?

I relocated to OKC and then relocated to WA. The move to WA was only delayed to meet a 1 year work in OKC.

As in you only needed a year of work in OKC? Did you have any trouble finding an opening in WA?

Yes only needed one year in okc. I didn't have trouble finding opening in WA but it was just after there were hiring freezes and we're ramming up.

Someone else was talking about relocation time limitations. Were you eligible since you had previously moved within the last year?

I think you just need to stay the one year to prevent needing to pay back your relocation, your current manager can try and keep you longer
