Please Help :: Should I pursue CS Masters in USA or remain in India to join Startups?
I applied for a SDE position at Microsoft through their career portal. A couple days later I get reached out by the hiring manager on Linkedin saying that he has a position open and that he wanted to have a call with me tomorrow morning. I tell him that I am busy at the time. Then he sends another message this time saying that he wants an SDE on his team to conduct a Technical Phone Screen tomorrow. I give him some times for Friday(tomorrow) and I get a email from him(through a skype email) with a Teams link for a 45 min screen mentioning that there would be coding. In this whole process, I never heard from a recruiter or got my application status updated. Is this a scam or is the HM trying to go against/behind HR? Can the HM go against/behind HR and if so why would he? He did not seem like giving me time to prep and kept pushing for the earliest time to do a screen. This is for Microsoft Teams btw. Also how should I prepare in such a short time? Kinda rusty on LC. I started going through tagged mediums on LC TC: 170k YOE:1.2 yr #interview #screening #softwareadvice #software #microsoft #engineering #swe
Makes sense. I accepted it. Worst case I fail but there is no cool down since it is team based so I don’t lose much. Just was wondering if it is sus or not.
Manger seems desperate use it to your benefit
I called you because we are in hurry
If it was a recruiter they would email you asking for details to set up and interview then never reply or contact you again. That’s my experience with Microsoft recruiters. Happened to me a few times. The manager just can’t wait for the recruiters to play their little game I guess.
Go for it. You don’t have anything to lose. Good luck Let us know how it goes
Any update on this?
Had my screen Friday still waiting to hear back
Sent you a dm
No scam. You should be thankful a recruiter is not involved 😂. Also, dont interview if you are not ready. No point. They might push because of headcount issue or team’s urgent needs to fill in. But if you are not prepared, you will fail 🤷🏻♂️
Really are msft recruiters that bad that managers want to bypass them
Yes
