Plenty of companies are remote first, especially for tech jobs, Here are a few sites I use to find them, flexjobs.com,startups.jobs, virtualvocations.com, if you value remote work which I certainly do, I would focus on companies that clearly say “remote first” or this position is “fully remote”. Good luck to you!
They probably expect on-site until you get established, then you'll hopefully be able to do at least one or two days remote. WFH is really getting harder to come by and it varies by team/manager discretion. Plus, since it's a new team you'll need time together. Good idea not to push the issue too early. Best wishes!
Just make adequate preparation for the interview, and don't assume anything. Never take anything for granted. Have a positive disposition and don't be nervous.Answer all the questions with high level of intelligence and good imaginations. Be courageous and be respectful to the panel or the Consultants.
You will have the job.
Usually MS is clear on the job post, is it hybrid or remote or on-site. But you can also ask the hiring manager. MS's default policy is hybrid though as I worked for them for 7 years.
This makes sense to me. I think my confusion comes from the fact that the job is listed by several different recruitment companies with conflicting descriptions. Some say the position is remote, and some say it's hybrid, and some say it's on site. Really bizarre, but that's why I'm so curious. I myself am getting hired through one of these recruitment companies where the description is also vague.
If WFH is important to you (and especially if it is a deal breaker), then I'd advise that you press for an answer. If they are not up front with you, then it's possible you will find that the job is on site, and not open to negotiation after offer.
I know some people advise waiting for an offer before negotiating conditions, but not everything is up for negotiation at offer time (Salary, vacation, benefits are often negotiable; working hours, WFH/onsite might not be.)
Makes sense! Yeah, I have another interview today so I may just ask about that without discussing what I truly want in order to gauge it. I'd be okay with 2 days on site and 3 at home. It's less about the commute for me and more about how distracting an office environment is. I'd expect and hope that training is on site for x amount of time, and then hybrid/remote.
Anyone have position available. Am out looking for a job. I have data center tech experience and IT tech support
Assume in office full time. Anything less is a bonus. And you won’t get mad or disappointed

Is it a blue badge (FTE) or vendor role? Did you apply on the Microsoft career site or a third party recruiter site—thats how you will know. Either way, vendors are nearly all remote unless there is an office / hot desk arrangement. FTE roles say otherwise if they allow up to 50% remote and your recruiter can answer those questions. If hired, you can arrange for remote days directly once on board. Good luck to you!
I think you should ask - don't waste your time! I feel like many places who are vague don't want you WFH, so better to flush it out straight away.
Super vague = there is almost no WFH policy anymore and even if you get it, the circumstances are generally extraordinary and the approval is temporary.
