Appeared for an interview in Microsoft Redmond office more than a week back. Interview went really good and I am hoping to get an positive reply. Most of the people who interviewed with me already got a decision, but I am still waiting. I followed up with the recruiter and was told me that they are finalizing few things and will let me know soon. Should I consider this positive or did I just marginally made the bar and probably they are looking at other candidates? In discussion with my current team for a bump up so need to know my options.
Best of luck
Thanks. :D
i'd say dont assume anything until you have an actual offer letter from them. I had this problem before and celebrated to early
Yes, I agree. It’s just that I need to make another decision on basis of this result.
Good sign, otherwise recruiter can just tell you not to move forward.
They've taken a month before.
What did they finally said?

Got an update from the recruiter. I was told that they are still getting feedback from the interviewer panel, but recruiter explicitly mentioned that what she heard very good reviews from initial feedback. I mentioned the competing offers to the recruiter and she told me that she will try to expedite a response from the program manager, but I should not wait if any offer is approaching deadline. Apparently, this is year end for Microsoft and they may take a while to make a decision.
Got a mail from the recruiter today with the words "I have great news..... want to setup a call...", but surprisingly the call was setup with the product manger instead of recruiter. This was really good, got to know good things about the project they are targeting to get me in (assuming this leads to an offer...). I have another call setup with another engineer in the team on next week. I asked explicitly if this will be an interview , but was told that no, it will be just a discussion and my interview feedback was great. Is this normal, whats the process from here like? in other front , got an deserving change in the current work and also a positive reply from another onsite, so these will be the competing offers.
Which team ?
Core services
Which level ? How was system design ? They may be planning on level
