Microsoft Team Matching Questions

Mar 14 4 Comments

Hi, I passed a SDE1/2 (up to L62) hiring event last week, but got moved to team matching instead of an offer. I think I performed well, and would hope to get L61/62.

Just wondering if anyone could answer some questions on navigating the process:

1. Are there organizations/teams to seek out or avoid? Mostly done full stack web to this point but would like to transition into more backend heavy work. Preferably decent wlb.
2. I hear that I should probably expect a lowball - are they fairly open to negotiation with/out competing offers?
3. How is the hiring climate right now? Should I be more selective in choosing teams that reach out, or just try to land somewhere acceptable? (2 have reached out so far in the first email for context)
4. Does anyone know what organizations operate in the NYC office?

Thanks in advance!
