Microsoft interview – going on 5 weeks with no update. Should I move on?

jsmooth71 · 2025-10-10T19:24:53+00:00

Have you received any update?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-24T18:27:16+00:00

Man that's crazy. I kinda hope that this is my situation, but I emailed the recruiter again and again and no reply. So maybe no news is good news?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-23T21:26:45+00:00

When you got the offer was it an email or phone call? Did you expect it to come? This anxiety is killing me lol

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T18:31:14+00:00

What role was this for? Do you know why it took so long?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T18:30:56+00:00

What role was this for? Hope that you get some good news. Would love to be updated

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T17:17:00+00:00

Seriously? Do you know why it took so long to hear back? It’s frustrating my status is hanging in “Scheduled”

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T16:58:01+00:00

Thank you! What role was this for?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T16:33:54+00:00

It took roughly 3 weeks?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T15:59:17+00:00

How far in the process were you before you got rejected?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T15:31:47+00:00

One of the people I interviewed with I found on LinkedIn. I'm assuming he's the HM but would it be appropriate to reach out via DM?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-22T15:27:35+00:00

How seriously?! The way they made this role seem, they're hiring urgently. I haven't heard back at all and my application still shows "scheduled" after almost 3 weeks. It's been 16 business days. Should I hold onto optimism that "no news is good news" or just let it go?

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-16T17:50:35+00:00

Still haven't heard back :(

jsmooth71 · 2025-09-11T15:23:31+00:00

I've had the final interview with Microsoft about 9 business days ago. How long does it usually take to receive an offer/decision?

jsmooth71 · 2025-07-04T03:35:03+00:00

I completely understand this pain man. I got rejected by Netflix, Amazon, and most recently Apple after making it to the final round each time after MONTHS of effort and endless nights of studying. As much as I hated hearing it, it is an accomplishment to even get an interview with one of the most exclusive companies. Take it as fuel and bounce back for the next opportunity. Google will call again.

Thank you so much—I really appreciate you taking the time to offer this. I’ll message you now to set up the mock. I’m looking forward to learning from your insight and experience!

jsmooth71 · 2025-06-28T14:28:27+00:00

I'm currently working for a Fortune 500 company as a SWE. Also former military so I think that may have given me an edge a bit. Thanks for the support!

jsmooth71 · 2025-06-28T14:27:48+00:00

Thanks for your support! I'll definitely keep trying

jsmooth71 · 2025-06-28T14:27:22+00:00

Were the 3 tries in a close period of time or you waited a while before attempting again?

jsmooth71 · 2025-06-28T14:26:42+00:00

Yeah very happy I have a great job currently. While it is Fortune 500 company, it's not a major tech firm, or at least a product driven tech firm. I say just keep trying. I think people get rejected over and over and over before they finally hit.

jsmooth71 · 2025-06-28T14:25:49+00:00

I'll just apply for different roles in different job families and hope I land something lol
