How early is too early to try for a promotion?

Hi! In May, I (f24) graduated with a Master’s Degree and took a job at a university. My job only requires a bachelors and the rate reflects that; it’s not a bad job and the pay isn’t terrible but it’s not sustainable long term because my partner and I would like to start a family.

Recently a position that I am well-qualified for that requires a Master’s came open. It’s a different department but it’s a job in which I would work closely with my current department. I’ve only been at this job about 8 months, so is it too soon to apply for this higher position? Am I too young to think I can get away without “paying my dues?”

Thanks!
