just failed microsoft onsite and just wanted to vent. How do i get over it, cuz i am really sad
YOE? Role?
You avoided getting downleveled...so that's a positive.
Microsoft is overrated. I truly believe that the folks who work there are on drugs. I can tell you horror stories about my recruitment process on the MBA side.
Please tell
Rub one off
me too
It’s ok. So many things depend on luck. I tried for many years at many companies before getting into a FAANGM company...including Microsoft. Tips: - Go interview in other places and get comfortable interviewing. I can’t understate this - I nearly doubled my salary once when I prepared for Google and didn’t get it. I found out the smaller company I interviewed with thought I was awesome in my interviews. This gave me a LOT of leverage during negotiations. - Try at another tech company. - watch folks from those companies do interview problems. Gayle Laakman has some videos. See what your competition does - and compare them with you. Don’t get discouraged if you think they’re better...step up your game! - practice, practice, practice Good luck friend. I hope you get whatever is best for you.
Great advice
Thanks guys, I am cool now, gonna lc and chill now
It’s just like dating. You’ve gotta get out there and do it more. You then work up more confidence and will do a lot better. Unlike dating, though, one big thing is mock interviews (though mocks dates might have helped me in my 20s). Finding someone experienced in interviewing and doing mocks is a great way to get used to the format and will really help with the stress.
