Microsoft Internal Transfer Grace Period
Dec 9, 2018

Thinking of accepting an offer at MSFT Azure. Thing is I know hiring manager of another team I really like, but they are opening their position in one month — I’m not interested in declining current offer to wait.
So question is how soon could I internal transfer? I heard there’s a minimum 6 months to wait? At Amazon you can switch at any time... So having a grace period seems a little barbaric to me.

Best if you can spin the internal move as an opportunity of a lifetime switch.
Transfer+promo is rare. Transfer+2xPromo is extremely rare.
If you have an offer from a team, just go ahead and take it. The biggest thing is that other teams would wonder why you're looking so soon
