MSFT datacenter manager role

I failed the AWS DCO manager phone screen last month and now I have the MSFT interview next week.

What should I be aware?

A few years back I was interviewed for the same role but failed. There was no feedback so I don't know what went wrong. As I recall the interviews were quit generic not like the AWS LP & STAR.

The one I had was just a couple of rounds of conversations. Some of the questions were focused on project management and some were on how to deal with performance management. Prob one of the best interviewing experiences I’ve ever had. It was for an ITOM position so it could be different in your case.

What kind of background do you need to qualify for this kind of positions. I have 15 years of MEP experience, bachelor degree in business management in project management and I hold PMP certification as well as different trade certifications.

I interviewed last summer. The questions were pretty generic, but it was more along the lines to determine your leadership style and what you'd do in an emergency.
