Got decent bonus and merit, but zero stock. Looking for an internal transfer. I saw that zero rewards would be ineligible for internal transfer. Given that I did receive rewards, trying to understand if zero stock would affect the transfer. #microsoft
You can still transfer but be prepared for new group to check out connect and ask questions to former manager or yourself. If there’s a reasonable explanation, it shouldn’t be an issue. There’s no policy preventing it.
At what stage of the hiring process do I have to mention this to the hiring manager?
I don’t know that it’s required for you to disclose but they will find out before it goes through so it would be in your best interest to think carefully through a truthful explanation to give them and then proactively let them know. Being super honest is best.
Zero stock and non zero bonus means you’re 60% of the target rating. You can transfer - it’s gonna be hard though because you’d have to justify your rating and connects.
what is the best way to justify? Ofcourse connect has issues due to which ZS was given. Manager screwing up in our case.
My spouse is in a similar position.. wondering what options are available.. Reached out to couple of managers and first thing they asked is to check out connect.. Op— was your connect not good? My spouse got screwed big time by the manager.
you can transfer as long as hiring manager is ok with it.
