I’m a SWE with a MS in CS and 3+ YOE, how do you think this plays at Microsoft? Is it IC3 or IC4? Just for context, I’m getting interviews from all other FAANG++ (except Netflix) - not sure it’s because I’m applying for IC3 roles only at Microsoft.
3 years of work experience doing what? What was your Masters thesis? You could easily get IC-1 (that’s negative-one) if those 3 years of experience are irrelevant. I know IC4’s with 10+ years of experience. Now, if you can convince the interviewers that you are ICX material regardless of education and/or work experience, that’s another story and mostly depends on your interviewing skills and how strict the interviewers are.
I think to do what you said, the main thing is to get the interview first right. I think that’s the main thing. How do I get that initial interview first?
The main reason I’m looking for MSFT, is the super laid back culture. You guys basically do next to nothing. Perfect while I figure out my visa. I really want in. Any tips? On passing my resume to recruiter?
How are you managing to get interviews?
Lol, just apply directly. Market is good right now. But in general, I’m taking about overall. From 2 years ago
