Microsoft is getting a tremendous number of candidates for their current openings. I would work to secure a legitimate (former colleague, strong advocate) referral before applying if you see additional postings that look interesting.

Most roles are getting 500+ applicants and they only interview the top 15-25, which can be tough to break into.

You may also find that it is tough to pivot from financial services (assuming based on VP title) since so many tech companies have had layoffs.

Here at LinkedIn we are getting a ton of applicants from Google, Amazon, and other top companies which has made it tougher for those from other domains. I would assume that Microsoft is similar.

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??

How were your experiences when letting it out the bag early like that?
