Did that happen with anyone that after all rounds of interview at Microsoft, HR replies to your Enquiry mail as Candidature is on hold. Does Microsoft does this in general ?

I'm saying this because Microsoft has posted more than 240 software engineering jobs in India in just the last month, bringing the total to 547 software engineering jobs in India alone. However, despite this large number of job postings, I haven't seen a single new employee announcement on LinkedIn for any of these positions. Does nobody want to join Microsoft, or what?

I have been interviewing with Microsoft since late March 2024, possibly for an SE2 position. There is no HR involved. Engineers/Managers from Washington and Hyderabad call me or email me and schedule my interviews. Round 1 (Mar last week): Technical Round 2 (Apr first week): Technical Round 3 (Apr 2nd week): Technical Round 4 (Apr last week): HM Surpisingly, there is a round 5. Round 5 (May second week): Technical/HM My 5th interviewer said that there is going to be a 6th round of interview as well, by the manager of 5th interviewer. He also said, "Hoping that we will work together soon." As of the date of writing this post, my 5th interview was almost 3 weeks ago. I asked my 5th interviewer for an update and I got a response saying: "Sorry for the delayed response. I was so busy with many work items. At the moment we are on hold and we will reach out to you once we have the confirmation." After my 3rd round of interview, there was a gap of 2 weeks as well, and upon aksing my 3rd round of interviewer about an update of my candidature, he told me something similar. It did upset me but I did have a 4th round as well. Given Microsoft is hiring a lot right now, I feel confused why my candidature is on hold. I feel very frustrated and desperate for the offer. Because I am new to this, I would appreciate if anyone here, can help me with their experience ,what could be going on? PS: All my interviewes were extreamly well.

Hi, can anyone help how much time does Salesforce India takes to release the offer letter. I got verbal communication from HR about the selection for the role of MTS, but nothing after that. Workday also showing the application in consideration state. Can anyone please help?

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

In past few days on linkedin i got ping from couple of microsoft recruters, saying we found your profile may be perfect fit for an opening at microsoft...bla bla , please share your cv . Once i shared my cv there is no reply from them . Total time waste. All hr recruiters have good profile on linkedin and not replying once you share cv . Looks like their managers given them target to collecting cv.

Hi peeps, Given the wonderful places you all work in, wanted to request if people can share good roles available out there at your company/some place you know. I’m on the lookout to a switch, but I know many are, might be very helpful to have shares across diff companies and roles. Hope this is okay. Thanks good people!

Are there any Microsoft HRs here who can actually tell me why they are delaying ppo results to mid September? Isn't it too late???

I gave 2 rounds of interview at Deloitte recently. 3 days later, I got a mail about asking for different documents to submit including payslips. I submitted the documents with in 2 days. But did not received any update from them from last 2 weeks. When I called the HR who used to called me for interviews she told we will schedule HR round for you in someday. But when I called her again after someday she told the position is now on hold. What does this mean. Am I not considered now?
