# Can I change my location or role after joining a bank?

Yes, you can — but not immediately.
Most banks expect you to work at least **1–2 years** in your current role and location before you ask for a transfer or role change.

Also, your **performance matters a lot**. If you’ve been doing well and meeting targets, your chances of getting the move you want are much higher.
