What's my chances of getting into MSFT?
What's my chances of getting into MSFT? My interview with the hiring manager went well. I think it should be 'hire'. My technical rounds were a mix of decent performance to maybe borderline pass. My fit and culture rounds were good I believe. Managed to get to the AA round with a partner level engineer so that's some serious heavy hitter, but I don't think that went as well as the hiring manager. Maybe weak yes? In or out?
If you got to the AA it means all the other rounds were probably a yes. did the AA spend more time grilling you or selling You? If grilling, you're borderline. If selling, you're in.
It was more of grilling. Mostly technical questions, some behavioral.
If you got to AA that means you didnโt get 3 noโs, not that they were all yes. If you were 50/50 then itโs almost 100% on the AA to make the call. They may even override all yesโs if you did poor enough with them. Thatโs not typical, but Iโve seen it before.
It's a good sign, but not a great one. If you aced everything before the AA, the last interview is usually a softball followed by the AA trying to sell you on the company. If the AA is actually asking hard questions, it usually means you did pretty well so far, but there were some open concerns the earlier interviewers wanted more digging on.
Ok that's good to know. Is MSFT 2-3 business days turnaround time for knowing the outcome? So if no call by mid next week = reject?
A good recruiter shouldn't leave you hanging for long either way.
What is AA ?
How is that relevant?
Once I was rejected by the last interviewer, M2, that dick was out of Microsoft after 6 months but not before delaying my Microsoft career start.
So did you not get the job because of the M2 and got into another team 6mth later?
I joined more than 6 months later in another tesm, that guy left Microsoft in 6 months.
TC?
