I am a bit behind in posting papers. Maybe, just maybe, this is because I could not access bluesky from MS for most of 2025?

They get a list of finalists, order them and then invite the first. If the interview goes well, they get an offer and 24 hours to decide. I got an offer before leaving and declined the next day.
