How difficult is internal transfer at Microsoft to a different location?

Sep 25, 2021 3 Comments

Currently working at the Vancouver location. In a year or two when my partner and I start a family I would like to relocate to the Toronto location since we’ll both be closer to our families.

How hard is internal transfer if same country?

If we decide that we want to move to the States instead, how much different is that process?

Thanks!

    It depends on your target team.
    I do not think it is too difficult if your performance review is good.
    And actually you can tell your manager and skip level manager, I believe they are welcome and happy to send an mail to ask partner teams for position to you.

      I heard in some instances you have to re-interview. Is this the case?

      In the official process, you always need re-interview. But if you have good record, and code review, good performance review … they can use these as the bases of interview feedback. Especially the team you are working with, they already know you while cowork. They still need to go through the interview process, but just may just talk … because you already have enough information to them for writing feedback.
