Hello,

I received a Microsoft offer 2 months ago, which I accepted. After we agreed on a tentative start date they said they will provide an offer letter + contract and other papers.
But when I asked hr when I will get the contract he said I will get it earliest 1 month before the start date.
I find it a bit odd because I expect they should provide the contract asap to ensure I don't look for other companies.
Is it common to get the contract this late @msft?
Btw, I accepted the offer 2 months ago, and since then I have passed background check, but no papers have been signed yet.
I also don't want to resign from my current workplace before signing anything with msft. And the notice period is 1mo.. so it's kind of complicated because msft gives the papers at a later time.

Thanks.

  • I was in the same boat. They sent me two weeks before the joining date. As your HR said 1 month before, you mail him to send the updated offer and you will proceed with resignation
