Hi, So, I had offers from Ebay and Microsoft both in April and back then I decided to go for Ebay as due to covid-19 Microsoft had a hiring freeze for sometime so they rescinded my offer. But last week they called me and extended me with an offer to which I accepted as Microsoft was my first choice. But the problem here is that to negotiate the offer from Microsoft I used Ebay offer and never told them that I already joined Ebay and now in my background check from Microsoft I have given the current Ebay paycheck to verify my employment and all. So, I am afraid that Microsoft might reject me because I lied to negotiate and never told them that I work for Ebay now. Will this reject my Microsoft offer? Do anyone know if this has happened to anyone before. Thanks #engineering #microsoft #microsoftoffer
personally feel you over-thinking this.. Good Luck!! and Congrats!!
They rescinded their offer and are giving it back a few months later + you’re accepting it because it’s your dream job. I can’t imagine anyone from Microsoft would turn you down knowing all of that, especially given the environment we’re in. Long-winded way to say: don’t worry and congrats!
You gave the correct info in your background check so you’ll be fine.
Good luck on the BG check. How long does the BG check take? Do you also have to do a drug test in COVID before joining MSFT. Also curious if you got back results and have successfully joined your dream company.
I’m in similar situation. How did it end up, op?
How did it end up for you?
Bump
Yes, I have declared the correct joining date and still work for Ebay so no last date but the resume which I gave to Microsoft back in April didn't had any mention of Ebay as back then I was working for my previous company. The bg verification company(hireright) told me that they will share their findings with Microsoft and that's when I realized what if they raise a red flag for lying for negotiating the offer.
Nah you’ll be ok! Relax & welcome to MSFT.
