the recruiter said lets stay in touch.all interviews are done for solutions engineer but no offer. she said they would like to get me onboard but cannot due to hiring freeze. any ideas if github/microsoft still hiring?
Microsoft is still hiring, but the process got slower. I guess, some teams reached headcount, at least till the beginning of the next fiscal year (July). But last year it was somewhat similar. My team reached headcount around May and didn't hire in June
GitHub is basically frozen. Only a very small number of key hires are happening right now. Sorry!! I hope we're hiring again soon.
I was given a verbal offer. Do you think they could extend it when this all ends? Is the freeze until the end of the year?
Not so much. They aren’t as affected as e-commerce travel
It's not a freeze per se. Just lots of extra scrutiny. Chat with your recruiter.
Recruiter said to stay in touch and let’s see if things change 🤞
Does Github has same process like 'general' MS? I got positive feedback from my onsites from one team in MS but role was closed. I am wondering if I can try to land role in Github with this feedback
GitHub recruiter reached out to me this week for senior eng position. Maybe it’s a “strategic positions only” strategy ala Google
Oh my position was solutions engineer . Maybe not considered important enough for hiring?
You should ask if you’re in the queue to receive approval or if you’re supposed to wait until the freeze is done. Folks are getting hired it’s just taking longer
GitHub is still hiring but the approval process is way longer than normal and goes way up the chain.
Are there chances or getting a position completely dissolved ? I’m so disheartened because they have been interviewing for 2 months now and while giving the offer she mentioned we might need to wait a few months but I cannot promise anything.
Not that I’ve heard. You may want to ask if you should pursue other opportunities or if an answer is forthcoming one way or another. Just ask the recruiter to kick you the real deal
How’s the interview process like at Github? Is any specific programming language required?
@hohohog do you have any updates on your offer?
Nope still waiting. They said they would know better in July
