Hi All, I have applied to a number of positions at Microsoft via internal referrals but all my applications say "In Process". It's been over a month for a few roles and I have not heard anything from the recruiting team. I am applying for Principal Program Manager roles as I am a non tech person. Any advice on what I may be doing wrong or what I should be doing more off? YOE: 10+ Current TC: 220K (Base + Stock)
I've heard it's really hard to get in at MS if you don't already know someone. Online applications are mostly thrown away due to the sheer volume they receive through that channel. Gotta go in through a recruiter if you want a good shot. That's easier to initiate as a SWE so I don't know how to help you they're but reach out to your extended network to see if any friends of friends work there so they can get you an in.
What is the typical response time from Microsoft for Non Tech roles?
All mine were that way too. Only way I got in was I was poached.
How long ago was this? What function?
