For Microsoft Hiring related queries

I work at Microsoft

Yes, but I'm not the point of contact for hiring

tldr I would love to help. But Microsoft HR is the right place to get help around hiring queries. I am just someone who teaches people how to code and I would like to dedicate my energy into that.

Why you ended up on this page?

If you're reading this chances are you pinged me on some social media platform to enquire about Microsoft's hiring process. I'm living a public life on Internet and this might seem like a good idea. But for a second, let's practice empathy for me.

Practice Empathy for Tanay

  1. I want to help as many people as I can. All this content I create is for free, I get no money paid from anywhere for this.
  2. I have good number of connections, followers across Internet. My weekly reach is close to 100,000. I can't fathom how I can reply if everyone pings me individually.
  3. My day job at Microsoft requires me to code whole day. 8-10 hours of office work is what it requires to succeed in the company.
  4. I have a family from which I cut time when I am replying to individual direct messages or creating content.

If you can relate to these points and understand then you'll see that I cannot scale this way. I can't take individual queries around hiring and try to get it resolved. I am not in the HR department so many a times I don't have full details with me. I hope you understand this.

Where to get help?

Here's where you can get all the help required.

If you're looking for a job or internship please apply to Microsoft's Career Page

If you have doubts around Microsoft Hiring Process contact Micorosoft HRs on LinkedIn. They are more equipped to help you out.

If you are interviewing at Microsoft and you need to understand what to prepare for. Talk to your recruiter. They generally have a preparation doc.

Apology again

Maybe when you're reading this, it sounds rude. I apologise again for it. I am deeply sorry that I am not able to reply to all individual messages or refer you to your dream job at my employer.

But understand this, I never applied to Microsoft or got a referral. Micorosoft and its recruiters are constantly looking for amazing people in every field. So, if I can end this with one suggestion: Be so good that they can't Ignore You and this will get a job offer in your inbox very soon.

Again,

Thanks for understanding,

Always trying to help in my personal capacity,

Tanay Pratap
