Microsoft CTJ/Cleared teams

Interviewed with Microsoft CTJ/Cleared space. Interview went very well. What are the best and worst teams that CTJ Software Engineers can join? I know some teams are very ops and on call heavy. I dont mind having on-call every so often, and doing some ops work is okay, but really want to spend 50%+ of my time doing dev work. What teams should I go for and which should I avoid?

What level?

IBM WkaH10 OP Apr 24

Leveling happens based on interview performance and I just had the interview. I was aiming for 61 or 62.

Sounds like he attended a cleared hiring event perhaps (think we had one within the last few days). These would typically be lower level in my experience 59-62. Next steps are your name gets emailed around to a bunch of hiring managers and your interview feedback is viewable. Feel free to dm me OP I’m a HM in CTJ space.

How is msft L66 these days? Levels say 374k for a principal pm - still accurate? (224+47 bonus+100k equity). Any signing bonuses? Dc area

IBM WkaH10 OP Apr 25

I’m not near that level so I can’t say, but MSFT does give sign on bonuses to lower levels so I imagine 66 would get a sign-on as well.
