Switching teams within a year @ Microsoft
Long story short, received an offer from Microsoft as a new grad. The team is not a product team & I want to eventually move towards that direction. I am grateful for this offer & am excited to learn a lot but I also want to work on something I am really excited about down the road. How do internal transfers work @ Microsoft? Is it weird for a new grad to transfer a year after joining? If you were in my shoes, what would you do during that first year to complete that goal? TC - 52 Uno cards or 130K (I won't lie, I am not 100% sure how this gets calculated my b)
Answer: Draw 4 Share numbers orGTFO
What color after though??
Black
I donβt see why not. It looks like you have a good reason (your goal is to work in a team with different focus) and trying to achieve that. You are not forced to change and / or changing due to low performance. Whether you need to explain this in the future (for other internal transfers) is a separate thing. I have been in Microsoft for about 4 years and had already been in 3 different teams (under the same skip though) with good career progression. If I wanted to change in the future, I am pretty sure I could explain the reasons pretty easily in a way that would not hurt me, so I am not worried. YMMV.
Awesome, thanks. I guess I just need to bust my ass to get good reviews & hope for the best down the road.
Yes. And if it is truly your passion it is very possible. I wonβt go into the details for anonymity for I can tell you that both of my changes provided this opportunity.
Thanks for the input, mind if I DM you for more specific questions?
Sure
Not with that TC.
You're hating on my TC huh.
