I am currently a swe at a msft’s company for around 3 years. Prior becoming a dev I have 3 years of customer success and 6 months sales experiences.

At hire I heard this would be considered as internal transfer so I can keep my stock and everything, but the applying part has to go thru external site. And most importantly 3 years as dev is basically nothing, therefore, I think aiming for a more junior role might be a more realistic goal.

I am studying for the basic AZ/MS900 certs, also plan to get the 104 305 etc. Even considering getting CCNA for networking knowledge. However, reading from multiple post, most mentioned real world experience is more important than the cert. And I totally understand exp ofc is a better proof of I can do the job. So is there some junior roles that I could try for and would allow me to gain related experience to transition a Technology specialist or CSA?

(Ideally non dev, reason to transition is mostly I don’t want to be a code warrior anymore. As a dev, the work I like the most is to share my knowledge on new things or tools/ to teach people and showcase on our products / writing design doc etc. but never the actual coding part.

Really appreciate for any insight!

So I applied for a job at MS careers and in action centre my job is no longer clickable, and it says that "This job description is not available. Your application is still under consideration." what does it mean exaclty ? does it mean they have stopped taking new application and are only processing existing ones. This is the neurodiversity program

What’s your thoughts on the new microsoft full stack dev course on coursera?

I cant get a replacement 600 keyboard for less than £30 quid. Im aure these used to be 12 quid om amazon. Some places are offering them at much more.

I heard they are being discontinued.

For me doing accounting, the keys are great being low profile and I have a calculator button. Been using them for over a decade.

Has anyone found something similar in terms of feel and profile.

Cheers!

I just started at Microsoft in an European office, 2 months ago. The team is totally useless, working on useless projects that has no ownership on as there is a crazy dependency with a Redmond team, who owns everything.

My manager, manager of both teams, is obsessed with "Visibility". Customer obsession is not a thing here. His own careers is all that matters. He aims to Satya's visibility with a "yet another openAI wrapper" the world is not short of these days.

I joined as SSWE 63 with the best salary I could get in my local market. Work life balance looks good. I am working looong hours but only for my own choise.

I joined overflowing with motivation but 2 months in, it's all gone.

I know it's super early to look around but the internal job board is very juicy and tempting. Would it be crazy to contact a manager on teams and try to express some interest? How the heck could I justify my intention?

Coming from a managerial role into an IC role, wondering what your day-to-day might look like. Time for self development, mental breaks, etc.? Or working late nights & weekends? Would you say it's a fair balance? Do you enjoy your work and the impact it has? I'm sure this differs team to team. Looking at a DS&A role.

Is there a (reasonably) prebuilt solution to procurement pipelines in Microsoft 365 Suite?

What happened to Microsoft's stock price?

It's value fell 4% today.

I have used windows like JasJam and then HTC windows and even Samsung Omnia.

And I always wonder how didn’t Windows and HTC even Sony Ericsson touch phone improve to a next level touch.

And then Apple comes out with a Multi Touch using finger insanity. That was wild whenever I think about it.

Also Android first phones like HTC Hero wasn’t even as good as iPhone 1st gen.

Like Windows and HTC had years on Apple, yet Apple phones took them out.

I could really use some guidance here! I recently wrapped up a course in Business Central Functional Consulting, and I’ve been practicing for about six months now while also prepping for the MB-800 certification. My background’s in accounting (Bachelor of Commerce), and I’ve got some experience with software implementation and troubleshooting for gym/fitness management systems.

Despite all this, I’ve been finding it tough to land a Business Central role, so I thought maybe volunteering would help me get that practical experience and make some connections. I’m happy to put in around 12-15 hours a week if anyone knows of a project or company that might need some help or if you’ve got any tips on how to break into the field.

Device revenue has been down for some time. Multiple quarters at this point. I am curious if you feel Microsoft will eventually stop producing the Surface line of products. They are great but missing revenue targets.

Gave up after 20 minutes. What in the fuck is this bullshit, mental captcha system?

Hi my organisation is using unothorised windows OS. How can I complaint about it to windows and put my organisation in trouble. How I can inform microsoft about this misuse.

I am currently implementing a new Sharepoint intranet at my work and thought it might be a good idea to build department communities in Viva as the landing pages for department links on the Sharepoint’s homepage.

Does anyone have any thoughts and maybe some tips and stuff to look out for? For those who have Viva Engage at work, did your organization adopt it well? If so, what worked?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi all,

I had a screening/ first round interview for a position a little over a month ago, but haven't received either a rejection nor moving forward to the final rounds. My recruiter did tell me a couple weeks after the screening I was still being considered and that they were still reviewing my first round feedback(as well as scheduling capacity and open positions) and haven't heard anything since. Anyone have an experience like this or insight?

The Festive Fusion” (Verse 1) 🎄 On a snowy eve, in Redmond’s halls, Microsoft’s AI gathered, decorating the walls. With circuits aglow and algorithms humming, They planned a grand party, no one saw coming.

(Chorus) 🎁 “Let’s merge the festivities,” the AI said, “Christmas and birthdays, let’s turn them ahead.” "A cake shaped like a snowflake, gifts wrapped in code, And carol-singing bots on the snowy road."

(Verse 2) 🌟 The Christmas tree twinkled with LED lights, While Santa’s sleigh was a self-driving delight. Satya Nadella danced with Cortana’s grace, As Azure servers hummed a festive embrace.

(Chorus) 🎁 “Happy birthday, Windows!” they cheered aloud, “And Merry Christmas, Excel!”—the crowd was wowed. GitHub pulled requests for holiday cheer, And PowerPoint slides danced, spreading good cheer.

(Bridge) 🔔 Azure Functions played jingles in the cloud, While Quantum Computing spun snowflakes, unbowed. Teams chatted merrily, sharing their delight, And Surface devices glowed, all through the night.

(Chorus) 🎁 “Let’s toast to Windows 11,” the AI exclaimed, “And Visual Studio Code, forever untamed.” "May GitHub repositories flourish and thrive, As we debug our way through this festive hive."

(Outro) 🎶 And so, in this fusion of bytes and snowflakes, Microsoft celebrated, for old traditions’ sake. Christmas and birthdays, intertwined in delight, As the AI danced on, through the magical night.

Note: This fictional celebration is a playful blend of Microsoft’s technologies and holiday spirit. If you have any other whimsical ideas or need assistance, feel free to share! 🎄🎂🎁

Many years ago, I pointed an Oracle cluster to AD. Very straight forward. Very successful. Yes, we had to add entitlements to the domain accounts as well migrate applications to the new accounts In 2024 we would use roles originating in SailPoint, out IGA

Today, I am in a project meeting looking to have the same thing done. However, I am being told we need months of analysis to federate. There are other complexities with service accounts (unless Oracle supports oidc / secrets management).

What am I missing? Why is this not a determine the federation pattern and execute? Can I still run in a mixed mode where the db server is federated and local accounts are used until migrated? We did this a couple of years ago on windows servers (local and domain accounts)

Thank you!

Hello,

I applied for a SWE microsoft position with referral for one job three weeks ago, and without referral for another job with basically the same title last Friday.

My job app without referral was not selected within 3 days, the other one with referral is still in review after a long time.

I was really hoping to receive invite, but now I am not too sure anymore.

Any advice whether I am still being considered?

Thx in advance

Hi Window friends, first time posting here. Tried to be resourceful and look for the answers I needed in the subreddit, but there was just so much content that did not look helpful for my specific question.

Anyway, I'm coming to all of you for my coworker. He and I both have Windows 11 operating systems. We're unclear on how to change the color of folders on Window File Explorer. Can anyone help us out with this?

Thank you all in advance!

So, I’m due for the interview in the upcoming weeks. Very excited and nervous at the same time. I’m familiar with cloud as I’m AWS certified, but, I honestly don’t know what to expect. Is it purely technical, behavioral, or a mix of both.

The role type is customer success if that’s going to help.

What im looking for here is advice, stuff i should focus on because imposter syndrome is hitting hard as I’ve been rejected by 20+ companies who didn’t even let me past the screening. Suddenly I have a final round interview with Microsoft.

Is there like a way to get traditional Japanese art styles like ukiyo-e I know you can do stuff like cubism but when I type ukiyo-e or like traditional Japanese art style I just get an image of Japan and it looks realistic

2.0.5 version drains memory. JS cache grows and eats gigs of ram after some time. I have to restart browser few times a day. Does someone else has this issue or maybe a solution?
some guy made a research and said that it seems that the problem is caused by an onResize event listener in autofill.js that was not canceled. writing feedback in plugin store didn't lead to any help :(

Is it possible to move google workspace "action items" to microsoft 365 during a migration? I’ve been told “manually recreating the action items as To Do tasks is the only way” . Can anyone confirm? Does one of the popular migration softwares or Microsoft’s migration tool have this feature?

I just watched Apple's presentation of the new iMac with its 'AI (Apple Intelligence),' and it made me wonder if that's what I should have expected when I bought my Surface Laptop 7. I have a Copilot Pro subscription, so I get AI support for emails and office work, but shouldn't there be some free entry-level AI features for everyone?

Also, why doesn't Microsoft integrate Copilot directly into Windows on my Copilot+ PC, like Apple does with Siri on the Mac? Microsoft was the first runner, yet after 4 months, the only AI feature that seems to work properly on my Copilot+ PC (which is differentiated from other PCs) is Studio Effects. Well, and a web wrapper Copilot app like everyone else. I feel misled.

Has anyone EVER found an "answer" to their problem on this site? Maybe you'll get an answer on how to turn on your computer, though I'd bet somehow they'd still tell you to run a virus scan instead of helping you find the power button. What's more, the increasingly unhelpful google search algo is bringing this MS answers garbage to the top the results, and then basically gives up on probing for more serious sources after that cause it thinks "mission friggin accomplished."

One of the worst sites in the universe, loads like crap too.

Hi there! Has anyone taken the MB-800 exam recently? I’m supposed to take it next week but my main focus in D365 finance and operations so trying to see how the business centrals exams differ from D365 Finance and operations!

Any advice would be great!
