Hello guys, I just graduated with a degree in Computer Science and concentrations in Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing and I was wondering if the only way to get an interview with Microsoft is by referral? I'm interested in some SWE in Austin and Washington. Thank you!
College campus recruiting is a great way to get hired. Reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn and referrals are probably the next best ways. And of course apply online (I have heard of at least one person who got in by applying online without recruiter involvement), though this is probably the hardest way. Try all the avenues though - you just need one of them to work.
