Moving to London due to personal reason or something else? Doesn't microsoft have an office in London?

Microsoft BBGLondon OP Nov 3, 2020

Personal reasons. Start fresh. Microsoft does have an office in London, but TC is shit.

Process is pretty straightforward. Once you’ve been here for 18mos and have shown that you can perform well, you can switch teams. There’s an internal job posting board that shows all the open positions. You reach out to the manager and if there’s a match, you’re invited to join. Most teams will not have a technical interview. You can move to any office where there’s an opening.

Is 18 month wait, a hard requirement before switching teams ?

Yes, but I think it’s only for the first time.
