How strict is Microsoft w YOE qualification? The role requires 5+ YOE and I will reach my 5yoe exactly this July.

Do I still have a shot for this role? Or is there no chance if u dont meet minimum requirement (like Google)?

No experience with Microsoft directly, but I think 4.5 years is certainly close enough to apply and have a shot. I think it’s more important to emphasize how your skills/experiences fit with the role, rather than checking the box of how many years you’ve worked.

If they ask the question when you apply, it’s a hard requirement. If it’s just on the resume but not a formal question it’s soft. Read what the YOE description is and typically it doesn’t mention 5 YOE of paid work, which means extracurriculars could count

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Hey fishes,

Brillio gave some joining bonus and if we are leaving within an year we need to pay it back.
So does it mean I need to put papers after one year or is that okay to put papers after 9 months, so serving 3 months notice makes it one year.
Please let me know if anyone had an idea about this.
