Received a verbal offer but Microsoft contacted me for an interview. How likely is it that they would expedite the process for me if I asked? Any tips or thoughts from Microsoft 🐠 is much appreciated. Thanks!

In terms of tips I’d say just mention that you are interviewing with multiple companies and feedback has been positive and you’ve been advancing in their processes but nothing immediately imminent. On the other side, if MSFT is really what you want to do then try to delay some of the advanced discussions with the other company either through the guise of negotiations or questions that you may have on your end which can usually buy you a few weeks. Last bit of advice would be if you run out of leeway and accept you could ask for a later start date to give yourself time to close out the process. Worst case scenario is you ultimately renege which may burn a bridge but may not matter all that much if MSFT is really the end goal

I’ve only had negative experiences with this type of situations in Big Tech since their processes are so long (I.e. 4 months+ for my current role). Last time I tried mentioning this during my HR screen and just said I had completed my final round and was expecting an offer and was promptly ghosted after HR seemed very positive in my discussion.

Yeah mind expanding on the 4 months comment?

They will not really.
You can only interview during a super day and they won’t create a new super day just for you.
Best they can do is schedule you for the earliest super day after you pass the screening

Agree ^

What was the role?

Data scientist is the Microsoft role

Can anyone provide some tips on how to prepare for super day interviews?
