Microsoft FRP Applicants 2021

Hey guys, figured I'd start this thread for those of us that have applied for the Microsoft FRP 2021 role, whether it be full-time or internship. Let's post updates here as we received them.

I'll start things off...I had my first round phone interview a couple of weeks ago and have yet to hear back.

Are first rounds already over then? I submitted my app a couple of days ago, so I don't know if they are still considering applicants.

 

I also just submitted an app for SA a couple of days ago. I heard there should be more waves of interviews/superdays in the coming months, right?

 

I should clarify I applied for full-time. I believe they look at applications in waves otherwise I’d assume the application would be locked. I know the intern candidates had their first super day last week and they have more scheduled to come so unless you get a rejection email (which I know some have already received) you may still be in consideration.

 

Has anyone heard anything back yet for FT roles or a second superday?

 

What does your status say on the portal? As long as it says your application is still active I think you are in the running haha

 

I applied same time as well and no changes on my application. I did apply to another position at Microsoft though that I was passed for. When they pass on your application they do move it to the archived section and you will see the status update. So don't count yourself out entirely yet.

 

Do we need to network for this or is simply submitting the application enough?

 

I've applied, and had an alumni reach out to me this past Friday as an internal referral. I'm from a non-target, although they do a resume drop through our career services, and am still waiting to hear back since then (its been 1 business day). I would assume its a very long and drawn out process due to volume and everything being remote. From what I've seen/heard its probably being done in waves so they won't do the next batch of phone screens until a superday is done. Don't quote me on this, as I was never told this, I'm just making an assumption.

Just got the FT offer. Seems like the Sept 2021 start date is going to be full (unless some interns turn down the return offer), so non-interns are being offered a March 2022 start date... RIP. Add in lower comp than in past years – 87k base, 3k stock over 4 years – and it's not really a good alternative to an investing role imo.

 

Not a current intern. Maybe comp numbers I've seen in the past were for returning interns? Regardless it's solid comp for corp fin.

 

I'm just going off my offer letter – 87k base, 3k stock vested over 4 years, 5.5k signing, "0% to 20% bonus" which I'll say is 9k. So you'll probably hit six figures all-in with some of the other stuff you mentioned, but the March 2022 start really kills it for me. If this was my only offer, I'd be content with it (especially from what I've heard the work-life balance is like).

 

Anyone updates? I had my first round 6 weeks ago and still have not heard back. Interested to see where other candidates are in the process. FT applicant here btw. 

 

Anyone know where they are in terms of recruiting for the SA process? I applied at the start of Sept and haven't heard back. Is it over? 

 

So active means we are still in the running? I just assumed they never updated them cuz I spoke to someone who said for the Business Dev role the spots were filled but it still says active for me

 

A few of my friends who are in the program have told me there's only one super day left, and that it'll mainly be geared towards interns. They have pretty much filled up their full time class, and like the other comment mentions, they're having some FT people start in March 2022.
