For Context: I have zero understanding on this as I’m not a recruiter and I’m not trying to offend anyone, so please do not take offense at all whatsoever especially if you work at Microsoft!!!
So - I have historically worked at companies like Netflix/Slack which usually has a decent eng culture and uses fairly open tool sets (or at least used to). This has meant that usually when applying or talking to “top tier” (FAANG or hedge funds or better) recruiters I at least am able to have that initial phone talk. (Whether I pass their interview is a different story)
However, recently I’ve just kind of gotten tired of coding so I ended up just interviewing around and got an offer with Microsoft (which I’m happy about because the ppl seemed really nice). I already have 7 yoe fyi
My question is - would this make recruiters not want to talk to me anymore?
For example, I know I have always been able to get an initial phone screen with almost all the top companies like Jane Street, Google, Robinhood... etc. but I’m wondering if recruiters will start questioning this decision and then I’m permanently banned entry???

And yes, MSFT is a strong tier 1 brand especially in the last 5 years
Thanks, this is kinda reassuring. I was worried because their offer is literally half of what I was making at some of the other places
Did you feel that quant shops had far stricter entry bar? I’ve spoken with some that asked for my freaking GPA in college... I didn’t even know that was relevant
But I know that some ppl only filter based on the college the candidate went to. So I was worried about that
