There are a lot of contractors from firms like TCS, Infosys, Accenture working at Microsoft. My BIL has been offered a similar stint through Mindtree at their Redmond offices. He wants to learn if contractors are directly absorbed into MS as FTEs (if they are good off course) or do they have to go through the whole interviewing charade that external hires have to? TC: 330k
Good luck getting a lateral position this way. There are plenty of folks in line for years. It used to be different a decade ago.
