Thank you :) no indication of % chance. Guess it doesn’t bode well when you have a larger waitlist

Yeah also wanted some closure. Waitlist likely means ding, they probably beefed up the backlog because of corona virus concerns

Did you convert it OP? I’d love to hear what you did

Finished interviewing for an ATS role at Microsoft Wednesday. The interviewers said they were recommending me but I haven’t gotten any feedback from the recruiter.

Do you get a verbal first or do they wait to have a contract?
