Is it possible to move to Redmond within same team and hm? Like I was hired in Atlanta but I feel so left out even if my tc is same and Redmond is much more expensive I think it will be good for me to move. Not sure if it's possible? I know if I find another position, I will have to interview again but I am thinking if location change is possible in same team under same m1 and m2.

Talking about developers, I am l61 dev in atl

    You can PM me for more details, but have done this twice in my career. As long as you don’t expect Microsoft to move you then it can be done and it’s been done plenty of times. If you want Microsoft to pay for relocation then you need to have a good business case. I would recommend asking for maybe a 2 week once a quarter travel option or maybe every other month? Isn’t Atlantic Yards a cool spot? It will be better than Redmond or Bellevue and especially if you are single.

      @Tactic yes. @vilgax, as long as there are no ties to your Visa with location then I’m not sure your leadership should stop you. I met a woman who moved from Ireland to the States for the same role. Not engineering.

    You will be poor in Redmond. My friend just sold her split level house (that needs work) located two blocks from the RedWest campus for $1.7M.

      OP
      I am aware Glinda but my team is bad with geo distributed work. I rather be broke in Redmond than be well off in Atlanta and be lost in my job and career.
