Has anyone interviewed for the Program Manager 1 role at Microsoft ? If so, what was your experience like and how should I prep? Also, I see the role is listed at IC1 but I’m currently IC2 and would prefer to not go down a level. Do you think they’d be open to at least keep me at the same IC level? Thanks!

Internal switches in Microsoft are usually lateral moves unless you move from/to the States, where levels are higher than Europe or Asia.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Hi, I am currently working at Bisleri in a quality control role with 6 YOE. My current CTC is very low (4 LPA) and I have not found any motivation or growth in my role since COVID.

Will I be accepted as an intern/junior designer in my early 30s?
