Most Microsoft sales are through partners like Accenture. Consulting does the more complex implementations - which can be interesting- or is doing work where partners are not involved - nor always fun. Thumb rule, work in a company's core competencies. For Big 4, that's consulting and advisory. For MSFT, it's products. Consulting is almost always the stepchild.

Oh and it wasn't a step down from big 4, went there from big 4 and back, big 4 was easier and less rewarding

Microsoft jobsblog & university recruiting page which is super generic. Thanks in advance for any advice you all can provide.

This would be about 12 levels down from a big four.

ACN1 do they hire then place or as you go through the process you get more specific?

ACN1 can you comment on time frame you were there? Where you campus or entry level? How they interview? I.e. Their sticking points etc.?

Microsoft services is variable. Some groups are doing interesting things. The rest are essentially competing with Big 4

M1 can you elaborate?

Best interview question ever

You have to move an airplane from the gate to the hanger, you can't start it, can't tow it and can't disassemble it how do you do it.

They left the room and came back, start to answer the question and they stop you and ask you to explain how you Ana;Yosef the problem and came up with a solution. It's a how you think question.

Different variation but also heard, how would you move my Fuji

Interviewed with them before. Just chill and dont freak out at their questions.

Hello everyone,

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
