I am in Microsoft, India. Level: 62 TC: 45 Lakhs Total YOE: 5 yrs (joined Microsoft recently, June 2021) I want to take an internal job transfer to US. What is the procedure for 1. Applying for an internal opening? How many interviews are there, can the job opening be in any team? 2. How does the pay and level work in case I get the internal job offer? 3. Also I will complete 1 year in Microsoft in June, 2022. Can I apply for the job in Nov/Dec'21 and if I get the offer, when can I get my L1 visa at the earliest? Appreciate all the help and time!
You need to spend at least 1 year before you can apply. Find a job apply give proper interview (4-5 rounds) if you get a job then wait for visa. Though I know this year they have freezed international hiring.
Are they frozen for all internal job applications outside of India? Like you can't even apply for Europe/Canada this year?
Very difficult. Lot of people already in pipeline because of covid. Your current manager might be an asshole. Your future manager might be an asshole. He might choose someone else after the interviews. Then L1 process inside microsoft is slow as fuck(lazy lawyers). Stock don’t refresh for internal transfer. Your connect until the transfer will not count in future promotions. Well I have 5-10 more but you get the picture.
US scale Stock refresher will provided from 2nd year right ?
what's the TC breakup OP
