Update 2/28: Sent my last update request email today. I have other prospects that are moving much faster and I’d rather not wait around for my recruiter to just tell me I’m not getting an offer. hah
Update 2/24: No news yet. I’m just going to assume I’m out of the running at this point. [shrug] What can ya do? haha
Hey all!
I had my onsite over a week ago, 5 interviews (1-2 people per session; 6 hours total), made it all the way to the end where I met with the recruiter who gave me all the information on how salary is determined (I didn’t ask actually), told me they had a couple of candidate interviews left, gave me a tour, and all the fun stuff.
The position is a director role.
Nonetheless, the interviews were fine, meaning they were relaxed and conversational, and I was generally content with the experience overall. Nothing was cut short and the interviewers were open and overall friendly. I try not to get too excited considering we all know how these situations can change without knowing.
It’s now Friday, the recruiter said he’d get back to me before Wednesday. I have sent a follow up email Wed evening and no response as of yet. I think I’ll give it one more week and toss the idea from my head.
Position is still open and my action center does still say interviews are in progress. I understand that this can mean very little.
However, I did notice that my recruiter is contracted from a staffing agency (not a true onsite Microsoft HR).
My guess is that this plays a big part on being potentially ghosted?
Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can speak with some insight or a similar experience.
