Interview Tips & Stories

Hi everyone,

I have given the round 1 interview of Microsoft on 9th December. In my action centre it still shows scheduling as the status. Does anyone know how much time it takes for the next round to happen if selected for further rounds ?

Thanks

Day to Day Office

Because:

1.We’d rather hang out with aging parents than office vending machines.

2. Our toddler is cuter than our cubicle neighbor (no offense to their questionable lunch smells).

3. We'd rather have dinner with our spouse than gossip with random flat mates about that one nosy landlord.

4. A weekend getaway with childhood friends > surviving rush hour for a team lunch.

5. Saving on fuel, rent, and overpriced sandwiches feels smarter than just surviving paycheck to paycheck.

6. Traffic jams aren’t fun, and meetings don’t require our physical presence just decent Wi-Fi.

But alas, corporate reality insists on strict office check-ins while happily making us join 11 PM global calls from home. So, here’s the million-dollar question: If we deliver stellar work remotely, why does our location matter?

It's not about productivity, is it? It's about clinging to old processes in the name of “culture.” Or maybe someone just really likes office coffee.

SN Subrahmanyan says employees today won’t relocate or return to office like the old days. But isn’t work-life balance important? 

Are we the problem, or are companies stuck in the past?
