What are the expectations around living in the Seattle area for a ride within a division of Xbox (which pre-pandemic would have been in-office in Redmond)?

I've heard MS is WFH-friendly, but how realistic would it be to land a job and not move to the Seattle region?

    I have the same curiosity πŸ‘€. Everything that I’ve been told to this point makes me believe the relocation will be required for the Xbox team.

  • They've announced that they will "re-open" in September. Everyone gets 50% wfh automatically - no manager approval needed but you are expected to be in the office half time (although how that timing is worked out is up to you and your team).

    To be full time wfh you need manager and HR approval. Even harder if you want to be full time wfh outside the country.
