Process
Applied for multiple positions and received an email to complete my application 3 weeks later. After I completed the application, a recruiter emailed me a few days later asking me questions like salary, relocation, and why Microsoft.
A week later, a scheduler emailed regarding times for a technical interview with 2 engineers. The tech screen for Microsoft is very difficult, so it's best to give yourself a few days.
I made it past the tech screen and had a soft-skills interview with a manager panel. After a week, I received an offer.
