Question about internally transferring to HR with no background [OK]

Hello!

I currently work for a financial compliance firm that specializes in third-party work for banks. I am an AML analyst.

However, I would like to pivot either HR or IT, preferably HR. I have been told I am very personable and outgoing and feel like I would be good in HR. I am good with conflict resolution as well.

I don’t hate what I do as an analyst, I just find the work boring and it’s hard to apply myself a lot of the time.

I have no prior certification or education in HR or IT, and I have only been working here for about 4 months.

After 6 months to a year, is that enough time to try to make a transfer happen? How do I do that? I’ve been thinking about emailing HR straight up and asking if there’s any entry level work or any extra help they need that I could do to try to pivot that way.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
