Hi Everyone - My contract with MSFT recently came to an end due to the 18/6 policy. Looking out for new opportunities but am having a bit trouble landing something tbh. Does anyone have any advice, tips for getting an interview, or a referral you can provide for Microsoft Google Accenture Deloitte? Btw I reside in NY, have experience in Program/Project Mgt. within Business Ops and Marketing. Have worked as an FTE with MSFT for 4 years previously. Happy to share resume. Thanks in advance👍🏻

For MSFT gigs, I recommend conducting 1:1 informational. Be intentional and reach out to people who are in a role that hires what you're looking for. If you can see the hiring manager email on the internal careers site, I would email them why your interested and some credentials (nothing too lengthy). Always ask to follow up in the future if your informational go well. Building relationships is key.

Just curious, what is the 18/6 policy?

Basically you can work 18 months for Microsoft max and then it’s a 6 month mandatory break before you accept another Microsoft contract.

Do you believe it's possible for those companies to hire remote talent worldwide? If not, why?
