Hello All, How easy or difficult is it to move teams in Microsoft, especially from a location like NC to Redmond for an SDE role. I am not too picky about the team and location change is a priority because of personal reasons. Any help would be appreciated!
Its up to you. How quickly you can find a new role .Microsoft supports people for internal movement .
Reach out to managers who have posted on the internal board and ask for informationals.
NC to WA won't be hard if a team wants you. My internal relo at MS was super easy once the offer was finalized. There are a bunch of people at the NC office who are from the WA office. They can give you honest feedback on your chances.
Officially, it's easy. In reality, going to another company is easier.
For Microsoft, I disagree. I went from contemplating a transfer to 6 offers in hand within 2 weeks.
You must be right since it happened to you and can therfore be generalized.
Msft is not the only company in that area. Start leetcoding
That's a good suggestion !!
