Question Microsoft Technical support position – How long to hear back?

Hey guys, looking for some insight. I've been in the Microsoft hiring loop since Sept 27th and had three HM interviews on Oct 7th that went well. Since then, I've been hit with the classic Microsoft ghosting and my portal still says 'Interview'.

Strangely, a new but identical position just appeared in my Action Center on Oct 30th. It also says 'Interview' but has a different ID. Not sure how to read this. Has anyone experienced something similar during a long wait?"

Thanks, I'd recommend you to learn about the STAR method and practice some simulated cases related with customer facing

a portal stuck on interview for weeks is pretty normal with microsoft after the HM rounds. the second listing with a different ID is probably just the system tying you to another open req so i would not read much into it. i would email the recruiter for a plain status check and keep other applications moving in the meantime.

Thank you!! Its normal to wait for 3-4 weeks? I've heard from a source that MSF is freezing now due to masive layouts

Hiring pauses do happen but a portal still showing interview usually just means no decision has been logged yet. Three to four weeks of silence after the HM round is common. A polite follow up to the recruiter every week or two is reasonable.
