Hi,
Can ibm pay 28.5 ctc under 7B band?
What is the midpoint salary of Band 8?
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Got a 4 last year, it's a partner I've been having monthly calls with, seemed like I got everything turned around this year although I think our review system is pretty opaque so I could be anywhere from a 2-4 this year
Are you excepting to get promoted ?
There have been multiple such posts... all the beat OP
See how long you can get away with rescheduling the meeting
Yeah and the specific team u work with makes a big difference simply because every SM or partner has a different opinion what 3 or 4 performer looks like. Very subjective process
System is seriously opaque and political. Makes for a very stressful, paranoid existence.
Good luck Op
People who don't hit utilization
Aren't you on pto on Friday? Is this a partner you work with? Wouldn't bad news, if it is that, come from your relationship partner ?
I doubt they will let you go unless the subject line is "Talent Discussion" or something. Could be a counseling out kind of conversation but not any sort of immediate separation.
Yeah the review system and the PIP in particular is pretty opaque (I wasn't sure how things were going and how long it would last until the following year-end). Trying to remember if I had a random partner call the year after I got a 4... hope it turns out alright!
Keep us updated- rooting for you!
Sorry to hear OP, hope it turns out well though! What's your level/tenure if you don't mind sharing?
Someone else got the same before the memorial day weekend and it turned out to be a promo. I think that still is one of the top posts
@D5 That still feels like a troll to me. Even if their counselor was OOO and unable to deliver the news that was the most ham-handed promotion delivery ever. We all know that's what getting fired looks like...
But I hope I'm wrong . Good luck OP
So, is this what getting fired looks like? I genuinely have no idea
They usually fire ppl quickly and don't setup meetings in advance
Well, How have your ratings been?
Honest question: how does one get below a 3? I feel like I don't try very hard and I'm always 2-3. Is it generally just out of college folks that get below a 3 due to lack of work experience?
