I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sydney) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was very streamlined, the interview process itself was understandable and the interviewers were very nice and encouraging. I had to do two interviews with a one hour break in between, but it sapped my energy at the end.
P.S. writing this 2 days after the interview so I don't know the interview result yet... pray for me.
