!process finished Microsoft OA

[whole lance]

Anyone knows how long it is expected to hear back from them after OA?

[halcyon barn]

which role is it for? and when did you apply?

[whole lance]

Job id is 1876157.
Applied on Sep 19 got email on 21, finished on 22, yesterday went up to the job portal and the status was updated on 24, don't know what that means tho. It's still in the active list

[sly ridge]

@whole lance same, did oa recently and it got updated but no interview, still active tho

[mild grotto]

Did you apply with a referral?

[whole lance]

No, I just mass applied to like 30+ roles and this is by far the first one I've ever heard back. I even knew someone from Microsoft and they are hiring on their team. They even told me some of the words that they filter on the resume. Still nothing lol.

[mild grotto]

I have been applying a lot as well
But no OAs so far

Words you said 🤔

Are these more tech terms or action verbs they look for?

[whole lance]

tech terms. It really just depends. I read somewhere that the questions that some of the Microsoft team ask even in an interview can be different with their JD. Like ask some frontend questions for a seemingly backend role according to JD.

[mild grotto]

Oh cool
Thanks

Problem is that they do only allow one resume for entire profile

Had to optimize it to its fullest so it is good enough for most of the postings

[hidden tendon]

Same to everything here except diff job ID

[whole lance]

Yeah I dunno if I should email them cuz I'm just kinda anxious after getting waitlisted by Amazon. I just need a fricking job🤐

[hidden tendon]

lol im also waitlisted

[whole lance]

Wait I just apply with different resume every time. So every time I change my resume for a new app it changes every other apps? That would be too weird bruh.

[mild grotto]

Ehh
I think so no?
Or does it keep that one attached to your application

No idea. Might try that as well now I guess

[whole lance]

Will you marry me? We're made for each other.

[hidden tendon]

when did u do interview?

[sly ridge]

whats ur role ? r u azure, fullstack, aiml?

[hidden tendon]

just swe on partner team

[halcyon barn]

Any chance you got rejected for a few roles before getting OA?

[whole lance]

Early this month

[whole lance]

Oh tons of, but I have only seriously applied to Microsoft for the past week lol.

[halcyon barn]

Oh no, I meant for microsoft roles reject itself

[spare leaf]

for one pipeline (redmond), i heard back the day after and the other (remote), about 2 days after

good luck!

[zealous mesa]

Was this recent?

[spare leaf]

i interviewed october of last year

so no

but the recruiters haven’t gotten laid off (as far as i’m aware) so their timelines should be similar

[sly ridge]

i assume it depends on how fast the hm in charge of the posting takes to review resumes post oa

but given job postings are team specific it makes sense they go fast

[spare leaf]

for university recruiting there aren’t hm involved until post offer, it’s org wide that they hire and then you go into a pool, but i didn’t read that they applied to a specific role so that’s different nvm

[sly ridge]

o interesting, most jobs looks like specific postings?

like "new grad" jobs still seem to have a team tied to them in the description

[spare leaf]

those are level 60 roles that some recruiters/hm call “new grad”

you usually need a lot of internship experiences and/or a masters degree for L60, at least from what i gather and also varies in the org

L59 is the standard new grad level

[sly ridge]

also if u dont mind me asking do u know if azure roles will still be remote

post rto announcement

[spare leaf]

i’m not in azure so i genuinely don’t know

[sly ridge]

nwnw

[whole lance]

I could tell you that the role I did the OA for is for Azure and is remote. But it could all just not align so whatever.

[whole lance]

Thanks 🙏

[halcyon barn]

hey can you check your dm

[zealous mesa]

Shit you’re in mfst that’s cool!

I think this year they slow since ik few others have been waiting since a month

[dark gate]

Did you guys interviewed already? Waiting for feedback?

[wet holly]

did you pass all the test cases for bothh the questions?

[zealous mesa]

Waiting for interviews to get scheduled

[dark gate]

Cool atb!

[brave sparrow]

How long did you get an update after VO? I just had mine today.

[sly ridge]

what role?

[brave sparrow]

Ai/ml

[spare leaf]

like two to three days but i expedited it

[zealous mesa]

How long it took for recruiter to respond after OA?

[brave sparrow]

2 months

but I'm pretty sure its just because the team finally got time to interview me.
