> I can always move projects when I get bored or something isn't right.

This comment is so underrated. In most big companies, if your manager is an asshole or the project is boring, you can always move to a different role.

As far as official protocol goes, at most places I've worked that means you can change teams after a year. They placed you on a team, so they want you there.

People who switch faster either have very accommodating leads or they feel secure enough to give an ultimatum.
