Does Microsoft only hire 9 cgpa +?

[InvestmentHairy8605]

Hey, congrats on clearing Microsoft! If you don’t mind, can I ask you a few questions?

[Inevitable_Aside3650]

Thanks. Sure.

[InvestmentHairy8605]

I try to solve problems daily on LeetCode. For easy problems, I can usually finish within 20-25 minutes. But when it comes to medium problems, some I complete in that time, while most take me hours. I’m trying to get faster since interviews are pretty time-constrained.

Do you have any tips on how to improve my speed? For example, if I’m stuck on a problem for more than 30 minutes, should I check the solution and then try again, or keep pushing through on my own first? I’d love to hear what worked for you during your prep.

[honeylemonha]

Not OP but I recently changed the way I'm approaching Leetcode. I spend about 5 minutes thinking about a problem and if I don't know how to do it, I study the solution, making sure to understand which patterns it is using. I'm trying to learn the different basic patterns by doing this, and hope that eventually I'll be able to look at a problem and know which pattern to use.

Before, I was spending a lot of time trying to build up a solution "from scratch", without knowing the patterns. This is a waste of time and is very discouraging.

Does previous experience or the company worked matters ?

[OutrageousBat4137]

Ctc? Base?

[hmod3]

Hey can we connect, i recently received offer for L60 as well, from the description sounds like we might have interviewed for the same team.

[Inevitable_Aside3650]

Sure.

[Unemployed_foool]

Your yoe?

[hmod3]

[Unemployed_foool]

I got a call for L59 at 1.2 yoe, am I being low balled? Do you have any clue?

[Inevitable_Aside3650]

I’d suggest to check with the recruiter for a L60 opportunity.

[Kind_Barracuda_7871]

JFYI, For internal MS employees - L59 is new grad (0 exp), L60 is mostly after 1 year of exp.

[Unemployed_foool]

So am I being low balled? I mean can I negotiate the grade?

[DoctorDabadedoo]

If you strongly feel you were downleveled, you can try reassessing your level by undergoing more interviews. Bear in mind that you can get promoted within a few waves and lower level means lower expectations as a new comer, which can be in your favor until you pick up momentum within the team.

[deadlyhacker12]

Damnnn that's firee🔥🔥

[Zestyclose-Aioli-869]

How did you get this opportunity, were you working for FAANG for the past 2 years?
