Expect the job to be based wherever the position says it is based. That said, we will have hybrid work when we come back - you can be up to 50% work from home without manager approval. More than 50% requires manager approval.

In most cases, you’ll be wasting the hiring manager’s time if you aren’t willing to relocate to where it says the job is based.

I think the job posting require the hiring manager to put a location. You can ask the recruiter if the hiring manager is open to fully remote on the initial screening. Willingness to have people be remote varies wildly by group. For what it’s worth, I am 100% remote and was before covid as well

M2 what is your role?

Usually remote positions will say "Location: Other"

Yeah that’s what I’m seeing with other companies, and even other big tech companies. I just hadn’t heard anything about Microsoft’s stance, so figured I’d ask to see if anyone worked there or might know.

Yes

I would just go for it and then negotiate your location accordingly. Most of these jobs are nationwide and remote in nature - pending what work looks like going into 2022.

Agreed. One of the first question I ask in an interview. If the answer for relo is no for our Redmond based team, then it’s a no go

A lot of companies have had a work from home arrangement even before the pandemic. And more jobs will undoubtedly remain open to permanent work from home or a mix where you can decide when/how often you’d want to be at the office. Even if the job doesn’t say remote exclusively I don’t think it’s off the table.
