but that might have been related, i mentioned applying to my recruiter and they didnt mention it being a problem so idk

willow shell Sep 25, 2022, 8:50 PM

#

I would follow up with your recruiter, they might be able to help in this situation

MS pays bad for seniors but for new grad they hella competitive

Some companies are prioritizing previous interns for open new grad roles

#

What was your internship? the adjacent position?

#

Did u do PM and tried to get SWE?

I dont think they would have much of a say in the matter. I got a notif that a MS recruiter looked at my Linkedin so a real person def looked at my app, so for whatever reason I got rejected, i doubt it was a mistake unfortunatly

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 8:52 PM

#

wet dust Did u do PM and tried to get SWE?

SRE, so SWE except I work on infra

wet dust Sep 25, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

and now they resume rejected u for SWE?

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

yep

#

even though i did the same shit the swes were doing during my internship lol

#

I have a strong feeling it was either because I had the return already and they didnt want to pull me away from it or the hiring freeze is too brutal

wet dust Sep 25, 2022, 8:56 PM

#

u gotta take that return

#

whole industry brutal rn

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 8:56 PM

#

oh i was planning on taking it, and ill likely be doing very similar work

#

just about future career projection

willow shell Sep 25, 2022, 8:56 PM

#

yeah you can always switch teams later

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 8:56 PM

#

apparently there is no limit to how soon I can switch lol

#

like I could switch a month in if I want

wet dust Sep 25, 2022, 8:57 PM

#

I interned MSFT SWE prev summer, rejected return for this summer for personal reasons, and now getting ghosted by my rec sadge

wet dust Sep 25, 2022, 8:58 PM

#

Ouch, don't email too much but if it's been a week then try to follow up again

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 8:59 PM

#

yeah no MS is in a brutal hiring freeze, that was the word around campus even during my internship

#

very likely hiring will be stringent

willow shell Sep 25, 2022, 8:59 PM

#

But campus recruiting is still ongoing though right

#

Fewer new grad count though I would think

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

willow shell But campus recruiting is still ongoing though right

I'm sure it is, but I was interviewing around to find a team I wanted to return to during my internship and all four I looked at were not taking new people

#

one even mentioned specifically a hiring freeze

willow shell Sep 25, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

Do they hire more new grads generally or more interns?

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

def interns lol, they take almost as many as amaz

#

this summer is was a couple thousand I think

#

I think amazon is like 10k, MS was 5-6k

willow shell Sep 25, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

Sounds about right

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

yeah this is easily the worst year for new grad, absolutely brutal

willow shell Sep 25, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

Capital One is gonna be a life saver for me this year hopium

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

new grads arent nearly as cheap as interns lol. theres like triple the amount of intern apps than new grad

Not true

faint kestrel Sep 25, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

quick shuttle Not true

balmy apex Sep 25, 2022, 11:40 PM

Dang, hope my interview isn’t too tough then 🥺

willow shell Sep 26, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

balmy apex Dang, hope my interview isn’t too tough then 🥺

All dependent on which interviewers you get

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 5:08 AM

#

faint kestrel i made two statements lol, which one are you saying is not true?

The latter

#

Former is accurate

faint kestrel Sep 26, 2022, 5:48 AM

#

quick shuttle Former is accurate

I got a return offer making 180k/4 years and currently negging to get 205k/4, id say thats pretty competitive

willow shell Sep 26, 2022, 6:48 AM

How much base pay?

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 2:13 PM

#

faint kestrel I got a return offer making 180k/4 years and currently negging to get 205k/4, id...

What level? Def not 59

#

I also have a return offer btw

faint kestrel Sep 26, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

quick shuttle What level? Def not 59

The default offer is 170k

#

For 59

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

First year…

faint kestrel Sep 26, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

No..?

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

What level are you? You’re not 59

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

faint kestrel No..?

118 + 30 + 17.5 is the first year offer

faint kestrel Sep 26, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

Plus 11.8k perf

#

On avg

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

That’s not part of the offer nobody counts that

faint kestrel Sep 26, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

Bro what lol

quick shuttle Sep 26, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

We’re talking guaranteed offer not variables

#

Performance bonus varies

#

But that’s besides the point
You’re not a L59 which explains your high offer
And that’s why I said your statement was false bc the offer for returners is 118 + 120/4 + 35/2 which is no where near competitive
