Hi guys, I've been working in my current company for 3 years. I have been part of mainly Iot related projects and has experience with many services of azure and AWS cloud. If I were to join Microsoft, what should I start preparing for and what is the interview process like ?

What does it take to join Microsoft.

Had 5 rounds of interview with Microsoft for firmware position and got a call from the recruiter to send ghe current CTC details.
Can I expect offer? If yes, any idea how much?

Current CTC: 50 LPA (service based)
Yoe: 7.8 
Stocks bonus: 0

What can I expect?
L63/L62
Stocks?
Any CTC hike?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Let's list down all the startups which are hiring.

🧵 thread on - Who's hiring

Quite a lot of employers are posting online claiming to be hiring, but candidates seem to be not getting any response after sending email/DM to that HR who posted. 
  
 I myself have applied to an entry level opening at a very well known and establish vehicles related product company. Literally entry level role with 6 months to 1.5yr YoE (I have 1YoE), yet I've not got any response. And they keep reposting the same opening over and over and over, to the point where I feel they are actually not hiring, but just updating their hiring work quotas as they were lazy AF HRs all through the FY23-24.

Product Manager

I have a Microsoft Noida SDE 1 (L60) offer letter with base 21l + 2l variable + 48k stocks and a JP Morgan SDE 2 offer letter with base 21l + 2l variable. I have 3.3 years of experience as a backend Java developer. In Microsoft, I interviewed for L61, but they gave me L60. What should I do?

Has anyone given se interviews at any level for the Microsoft Bing team?

Hi. I have my interviews with Microsoft  and Google for sde2 roles. My primary reason of switch is hybrid work mode since GS has 5 days WFO. Are all teams at Google and Microsoft still hybrid? Which is better for long term stay?

Need help!!

Hi folks,

I have been working at my company since one year, the workplace has become too toxic due to my manager there is too much micromanagement and the pressure has gotten to me, I have tried changing teams but all in vain.

Thave tried applying to open position at various companies but not receiving calls.

Please suggest companies that are still hiring for SDE-1 position for 1 YOE.

If your company is hiring your referral would help me a lot.🙏🏼

Companies Hiring for SDE-1 (May 2024)

Hi folks,
I recently got laid off from a startup where 50% of the engineering team was let go. I was working as an SDE and during a restructuring, my role was changed to SDE-2 without any increase in pay or responsibilities. I have a total of 2.5 years of experience. In my first company (where I worked for a year), there weren't many projects, so I didn't have the opportunity to learn or code much. However, in my second company, I primarily worked on the backend using Go, Django, Kafka, MongoDB, & PostgreSQL.
I realize that although I gained exposure in my second job, I didn't delve deeply into the technologies. I mainly focused on completing business tasks quickly, learning new things just to finish the task at hand, without solidifying my understanding afterward.
My experience seems suitable for an SDE-2 role, but I'm unsure if I can perform the role with complete honesty and may struggle. Some friends in similar situations reassure me that this struggle is common in SDE-2 roles. However, I feel I might be better off starting again as an SDE-1, focusing on my weak areas, and aiming for a promotion later. There are very few SDE-1 job openings currently.
I am actively interviewing for SDE-2, and not able to clear system design interviews. Tbh, I feel very humiliated as when I am not able to answer their questions it feels like I am wasting their time or they would be thinking: Oh this guy has been working for so long and doesn't even know anything.

Now I get it why people think Indian Software engineers are not that good in comparison to other countries' devs: the reason is people like me. 
This realization burdens me with guilt, occupying my thoughts constantly. However, I am confident that I can crack SDE-1 easily. I have good DSA & good enough LLD, &HLD skills for SDE1. I am looking for companies who can match my prev Salary: 22 L, 2 Bonus.
Can u help how to navigate this career situation effectively without increasing my guilt or feeling constantly humiliated?

Laid Off | Stuck Now | Too Anxious | Please guide

First work on the feeling of humiliation and self worthlessness. Don't ignore this, I've done it and it's one of my biggest regret. Working on this will feel a waste of time initially given job search is highest priority, I assure you your future self would thank you.  
  
 Now you are clearly very self aware, most incompetent people don't even know their shortcomings. And you know what, many comparatively incompetent people are making much more money, having much less self doubt and just living more - it's like being more self aware is a curse.  
  
 How do you get out of this curse? It's a slow process. Write down the things that make you feel that way, come up with an an action plan on what you could do to reduce that - clear goals and actions always relive anxiety. Writing things down is extremely important, keep coming back to it whenever you feel the same way, eventually you would reason your way out of this. Most of the time you are in a loop, living in guilt and self doubt for the same reasons over and over. Documentation of these feelings over time will make it look so silly, how could the same problem give you so much mental pain again and again.  
  
 You will do just fine career wise. With a few more years of experience, I can guarantee you will evolve over time, the problems giving you so much mental pain would seem very trivial then - that if you are able to resolve these feelings - otherwise it's a hell I wouldn't want for my worst enemies.  
  
 Some questions to ponder over -  
 1. Can you do the job search while being just a little gentle on yourself? 
 2. Does failure mean you have no worth? Can you fail more gracefully?  
 3. Does 2.5 years of mistakes(even if it see that way) mean you can't do amazing things in coming years? 
 4. Above all, does feelings of humiliation and worthlessness help you in any way? If nothing else changes, wouldn't it be better to just be a little gentler on yourself? 
  
 Take care, you don't have a career problem, a mental health one instead

Hello everyone, I am looking for an SDE1 or ML engineer role, I am a 2024 graduate and have more than 1.8+ years of internship experience 1+ years as an ML Platform Engineer Intern and 6 months as an backend developer intern, I have very good knowledge of python, ML, DL, NLP, tensorflow, django, fastapi, javascript,  typescript,  nestjs, kubernetes, docker,  golang, linux and I can easily learn new languages and tools, so if you know about any opening then please refer me, I am willing to share my resume in DM.

Anyone hiring for SDE 1 or ML engineer position?

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

Which companies are hiring for sde2?

Engineering Manager

I have been reached out by a Microsoft recruiter on LinkedIn for SDE opening. I gave a codility test  and cleared it. Now I have all 4 rounds scheduled for 9th March. Does anyone else have interviews on the same day. Also need guidance on how and what to prepare. I haven't done DSA for almost a year and also don't have much grasp over LLD HLD.

People who are recently doing a job search, how difficult is the current market
Especially for generalist roles- Program Manager, Founders office, Product managers. 

Also, how do you secure referrals.

Any tips would be helpful

Thanks

Job search

Growth Manager

Heard the job market is pretty tight for early SDE1s < 2YOE. How to make the best out of this dire situation any tips on how to atleast get a interview to showcase ur skills ? Also any good startups or product based companies hiring SDE1s to be on a look out for

SDE1s and Job switch

format:

1. If your company is hiring, let us know if you can provide a referral or can help somehow. Be ready with a fake/temporary Email Id to accept applications/resume, if you want to.

2. If you know any other company hiring:
Would be better if you could provide the link to the job or company or its career page, it's ok if you only want to share the name.

3. If you know a stealth or very small startup hiring right now, either share someone's LinkedIn/Twitter profile whom we can reach out to or ask to DM. 

4. If you have recently interviewed at a company, try to share a bit about their expectations and interview experience.

5. Recruiters, you know better than most of us, please help, ok ?

Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected.

The idea is to not just give a name, provide as much information you can to keep the thread clean and 'to the point'


Happy Hunting/Helping 😃


PS: (not mandatory) anyone who gets a job using this thread needs to give a treat to the person who helped them and post their interview experience on GV 😉
