I received an L65 Principal SDM offer ($380k TC). I am happy with the comp, but not convinced on the team's charter. Is it possible to apply to other teams with interviewing again? #microsoft
Negotiate with competing offers for a better pay!
How was the interview process for phone/onsite ? Can you please share details of rounds ? Can DM if that’s better
Interview process was straight forward- 4 interviews each of them covered a design problem as well as leadership questions.
No coding ? Were the interviewers usually other SDMs ? L65 Principal is the first line manager in MSFT right ? Or are there EM levels before L65 ?
That's not how hiring works at Microsoft. Your offer is from the team so you can't just take your offer elsewhere. You can transfer internally after joining, there's no waiting period, but you do have to interview to do that.
Is that considered a red flag to move the teams within a few months of joining? Can current manager block the transfer?
I have interview coming up for L65 Microsoft principle engineering manager role... can I Message you please on details and format of the interview?
Wow Microsoft really doesn’t pay well anymore
Isn’t 380k good?
Probably not for principal. For L6 level offers at google you get 500-700
