I got messaged by a recruiter for Microsoft just under 2 weeks ago and just passed the online assessment. They want to schedule me for a interview super day in 3 days. I haven’t been actively looking for new jobs so I’m really rusty with these leetcode questions. Would it look bad if I asked to reschedule my on-site to the next available super day?

I do not think it would, just give them a proper excuse. Good luck!

Ask about the full timeline for this role first.

Sometimes they’re trying to hit certain milestones by certain weeks. Then weigh your options.

Overall start your prep as well.

I agree with this, it helps you figure out what their plans are etc and you can stall a bit

Yeah, you'll want to still prepare for it but asking to reschedule isn't a negative reflection of your willingness to be interviewed and considered for the position. They're the ones that reached out to you three days from the event 😅 there should be some grace there

helpful

Agreed, that’s pretty short notice so I feel like they should be giving you some flexibility. Stuff pops up all the time, I’m sure you aren’t the first person that needed to reschedule.

Sweet! Yeah, shouldn't be a big deal. You'd rather be prepared than stressed out, that's understandable.

I think it's fine to request a reschedule, but I'd still prepare just in case they push back.

Eh, I say just go for it!

Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.
