Hello, Last Thursday, after a week of an onsite interview, my recruiter called and congratulated me and mentioned that MS is going to make an offer. Also, he asked for the salary I am looking for. I sent an email with my salary expectation to him but after that, I didn't hear anything back from him yet. I have sent an email to the recruiter, however, I haven't heard anything back yet. How long does it take for Microsoft to come back with the offer? Is it possible that Microsoft/Recruiter/Project managers change their minds? Hows the overall process looks like for the H1B visa holder. I have submitted the visa evaluation for H1B Transfer but no update from that team either. Can also please let me know, how long does it take overall, from a verbal offer to final steps(such as written offer, BG check, H1B transfer process, sign the contract) etc... Thanks #microsoft #offer
You're fine.
Thanks
Once you are in. Process becomes incredibly slow. It takes one week each for anything. Keep following up if you do not hear for a week but expect things to be slow
Thanks
Keep asking for an offer letter every week. Also, keep interviewing.
Oh ok, Thanks
Don't worry, at Microsoft it takes a couple of weeks.
Thanks
If you asked for a lot more than the level they might not extend the offer , so as long as it’s normal it’s ok - looks like you asked a lot higher so it will take time for approvals etc and unless there are advocates who really want you , it will get rejected - hope for the best - if this is the only offer play is safe and don’t delay - ask them to extend and offer and you will act fast .
I hope at least they will come back with their counter offer.
just curious what level & how much more did you ask.
I asked about 270K for SSE role.

Expect them to go slow from here on and then give a lowball offer. Most likely the recruiter will say it’s their first and last offer. Mostly haggle on the stocks and sign on bonus. Also, keep interviewing in the mean time.
Thanks! lets see, what they have to offer. Didn't get any reply yet.
How long does it take after verbal offer acceptance to written offer + background checks?
I dont have an idea, I am wondering the same. Sent an email to recruiter yesterday, as usual no reply.
I got written offer in exactly 1 week of verbal.
I don’t think so. I feel no response from recruiter means he’s probably hashing our some details. Wait for a couple of weeks before you start getting too anxious.
Thanks
