i am a SWE doing rounds soon. I live in Phoenix az. but im looking for a fully remote or local role. Amazon and Godaddy are here, facebook reached out for recruiting. Is there any opportunity for fully remote or american Southwest at Microsoft ? #swe #hiring #jobopening #recruiting #microsoft #remote
IMHO possible but rare & varies by team. When you apply for a specific put that you’ll reloc and then if/when you get looped you can review it with team. 100% remote usually needs VP/CVP approval for hire but if you are the strongest candidate they’ll work with you. (Especially in these Covid days) We just hired a non-tech role fully remote.
Thanks. There is a team in targeting, been closing issues on their github and talking with their engineers, I’m a mid level dev though so we will see. A few of them are remote
Good luck!!! An internal direct to hiring manager referral is key to making it past the careers site.
For SWEs, they have been historically rare for folks outside of an extremely senior band. There also hasn't been a big shift internally since COVID to move to more remote roles but you can find them on the careers site by looking for jobs in the city/state Other/Other Source: 6 years with Msft, 2 years full time remote
Thx for inputs :)
