Microsoft Referral
I was recently laid off (Dec 2023), was wondering if I could get a referral to Microsoft. Old TC: 205k Current TC: 0 #microsoft #msft
You were laid off from OCI ? Asking because I got a recruiter call from OCI. Is it risky ?
OCI. It’s hard to accurately gauge risk as a lowly IC but it’s Oracle, there’s yearly layoffs but they tend to layoff a little at a time.
Oh. I thought Oracle did not have layoffs and thought that it's safe/better than Amazon
Microsoft referral portal is a fuckin joke. No one I referred all those years I worked there got a call directly from the portal. Only way to get call through referral is if the person referring you pings the manager and/or recruiter to get your resume in their hands. So don’t raise your hopes on getting a call through referral at Microsoft
I bet they weren’t potentially diversity hires
They were all over the diverse spectrum, but doesn’t matter. It’s like they don’t even care to update your referral. It just goes into limbo with no response. In Google at least they respond in a timely manner and either deny or proceed to next steps.
