  • They're not good as vendors / contractors are generally given mundane stuff and are at a perception disadvantage applying internally. I also never saw a product manager as a contractor here in over 5 years. I'd suggest your friend to join if she doesn't have other options and look for a job at other companies.

    • Actually her offer is for a senior product manager .. if she does join and find a better offer externally , does she have a cooling off period before coming back to msft?

    • It would depend on the company that employs her and sets her contract up with Microsoft. Mindtree I think had a 1 year non-compete agreement for their people barring them from joining MSFT. But I know at least one Mindtree person that converted, so, there should be a way around it.

  • Conversion opportunities are decent depending on performance for PM roles. Cant say the same for engineering.
