I am trying to get into Microsoft but haven't had any luck even being contacted by a recruiter. I spent the last 5 years there as a vendor managing Data Science and AI teams. I have 12+ years of industry experience including executive level at a consulting company, even taught Data Science at UW and have worked for Uber. I have had several people refer me to the positions I am applying for. Any advice?
Looks at company, reads post. Looks at company again..... Still confused
Lol yeah I don't understand
What kind of work did you at Uber? Also if you are a vendor, why donโt you just ping a recruiter via internal Teams directly ? Also try cold messaging them on LinkedIn?
Just left being a vendor so unfortunately don't have internal access. I have tried direct message on LinkedIn with no replies. I worked in and managed a data science team in Ubers security space.
I lead a data science team. No luck with Microsoft interview, after multiple referrals. No idea what they look for
Were you able to find this type of role elsewhere?
Yes, received calls from other companies. But for Microsoft, my friend even pinged the recruiter directly (after I received no response from a referral at the portal) and sent me a screenshot. Yet no call. Weird.
If you get more bing points, you get to skip one of the interview rounds
