I work as a part time contractor for MS now, and there’s about 6,000 open recs here in the Redmond area. And it’s a growing list.
Pay is really good - working full time I’d earn well into the 6 figure range.
It really is about finding top-notch candidates, in this case. MS’ pay is really good, and the new Indian, German, and Romanian hires in my group earn the same as the Americans.
Maybe their capital investment will pay off, maybe it won’t. Either way- they deserve no special accommodations, which seems to be what they’re crying for.
