The Microsoft recruitment team visited my university to screen resumes and select candidates for a phone screen. Since I had an internal referral from a friend, they decided to skip the phone screen. I then had a one-on-one interview on my university campus.

I passed this first interview, and they decided to book me a flight to do an on-site interview. This happened approximately two months after the first one.

This second and final phase was much harder than the first. I had four interviews, with a ten-minute break between each one.

I received my offer right on the spot, ten to fifteen minutes after my last interview.
