CET position Microsoft

Hello all,

I just recently received my offer from Microsoft for a CET position. I’m completing my background check and all right now, but what can I expect on my first few weeks in this role? I know I have an orientation to do, but is there a lot of training courses to do? Will I be shadowing someone?

Anything is greatly appreciated!

Congrats on landing the role. First couple weeks is mostly orientation stuff and sitting through endless training modules, like compliance and safety things that feel like they never end

You will shadow a senior tech for a bit too, mostly just watching them handle tickets and do hardware swaps until they let you start doing smaller stuff yourself
