a technical lead

Leaving a company soon after joining - okay?

So, I joined a new company today, but I also interviewed at Amazon last week. Amazon should let me know the results in about a week. If I get the Amazon offer, can I leave the company I just joined? Will there be any issues? I didn't sign any bond, and the notice period during probation is 1 month.
