So I will have the 4 interviews for a senior software engineer position next week. Isn't it weird (I expect people with 7+ yoe to get microsoft sr. interviews)? I have 9 moths (3 fulltime + 6 pat time) internship at amazon + 2.6 yrs at an outsourcing company (client sap) + 6 month at another outsourcing company (client cisco). At both outsourcing companies I've worked as contractor.
Its just luck to get a recruiter to schedule you, and once you're scheduled its more just how well you have studied, not strange you are just lucky
Good luck! Do the interview and be prepared to be down leveled later.
It’s msft….so prepare for L63 title/responsibilities but L4/E4 pay (if even) lol.
Expecting down level
I am already mid level at current company (even thogh in cisco phone tool it is written Software Engineer Technical leader), down level to what?

It really comes down to how the interview goes. You’re not being offered l63 if interviewers don’t think this is the level that sets you up for success. Also keep in mind Senior engineers are tough to hire, so sometimes we start with Senior positions, but then simply consider close to senior engineers as a great alternative. Just because you’re interviewing for that position, doesn’t mean you’ll get it. Hope this helps, good luck!
do you know what could they ask me? Leet code <easy/mid/hard>, systems design? Or what eles?
A friend got it too, enjoy it because you just saved 3 years of career grind if you make it
Wow youre lucky. Senior is L63, getting it with 3 yoe is pretty cool.
