Job/Career Lessons that We have learnt Today From N*t*sh Kumar:

5. Always be flexible.
4. Switch at the right time.
3. Never burn the bridges.
2. Be open to join the same company again.

Last but not the least...

1. Never quit without another offer in hand.

Always Remember !

Account Executive

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.

Very confused with MSFT SE2

5th casualty in current year in USA

Consultant

1st Company(MNC | Name Appears in PF) - Worked for 1.6 years. Left yoluantarily in order to
prepare for GATE

2nd Company(startup | Name doesn't Appear in PF) - Worked for 1 year. Was let go citing
performance reasons(Which was completely bullshit) It was just the beginning of Covid

3rd Company(Startup | Name Appears in PF) - loined in the month of June 2020. Worked for 2
months and suddenly they terminated me in 3rd month since 1 was still in probationary period
and they said, my performance was not upto the mark/Which I don't believe)

4th Company/Mid Size Company | Name Appears in PF) - Worked for 11 months. My parents
were looking for a match for me. Left voluantarily, in order to get a high CTC. No problems here

5th Company/MNC | Name Appears in PF) - Currently working here. It's been almost 1.11 years
and counting

One of my frien d had referred me to GE through his senior and the feedback that he got was,I
have changed many companies in short span of time. 
So my question is this:
Iwill remove the second company from my resume and add that experience to the 3rd one
while giving interviews or when the recruiter asks for the cv.
And then once everything is over and at the time of offer release I will provide the proper
documents to HR for bGV. will this work? Has anyone tried this in the past?

The problem is, I cannot completely remove 2nd company as it would reduce my exp and it will
create unnecessary problems w.r.t my passing out date and relevent exp
And I cannot remove the 3rd company as it's name appears in pF forms. Hope you guys are able
to see my dilemma here.

Any/all help will be much appreciated. 
Thanks in Advance.

To all the senior level employees here. Why do companies take so many rounds of interviews? Why can't they judge based on 2 rounds of interviews - 1 DSA and projects and other on System Design. 

The first round is any way a bogus round I feel. Years of education, work experiences and still it doesn't say anything about my qualifications. Also, all the rounds have same questions - Leetcode medium. Then how the fuck they are helping in final decision? Any lights upon these.
