Recently interviewed at Microsoft for L59/L60 SDE position and got this in mail from recruiter: "Your overall feedback was positive; however, we do not immediately have an offer for you with the team you interviewed with. With these positive results we will now take your feedback to the other teams that partook in the interview event outside of your immediate interview group to find you a team fit. We do still have many positions open that we are looking to fill, so I thank you in advance for your patience as we work on this." Do you folks know if this is some kind of soft reject? How long do I wait till I get some conclusive response from the recruiter? YOE: 1-2 TC: 165k
Not soft rejection. It is up to the new teams whether they want to hire you. However not everyone gets an offer. Keep interviewing
I have been interviewer in many of these hiring events. When the team has only one headcount and the team gets one candidate that they like better, then other candidates that aren’t a straight reject go into this pool. Other teams can see the interview feedback for these candidates for 30 days if they want to offer. But I wouldn’t keep high hopes.
The team went with another candidate most likely. Often the HM will choose an internal candidate. Keep interviewing- you will land an offer. But try L61/62. 59 / 60 is for returning interns. You have more experience than that.
