Hi Everyone. I recently got an interview invite from Microsoft for a principal product manager role on the Microsoft Shopping / Commerce team. This is the initial phone screen with hiring manager and not the full loop.

Would anyone who has interviewed for a similar PM role at Microsoft be willing to share what the phone screen usually focuses on? For example, is it more around product sense, execution, strategy, stakeholder management, commerce domain knowledge, or leadership depth?

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Those of you with a degree in computer science (or similar), what do you do for work and how did you end up doing that?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Please, I need your opinion on this. I have 6 years of experience as a software developer and just finished my masters degree in data science. Now I am looking for a job here in the US. I went through the hiring process with this company and finally got an offer. They offered 88k/year and I responded opening a negotiation. They emailed me back saying that I am no longer in this process anymore with no further explanation and in Thanksgiving day. Is that normal?that email really got me very upset

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
