M$ at MIT

First of all congrats to Shivani Sugandha and Aman Arneja for getting selected ( or offered a post of FTE ) in Microsoft. The interview progress was very rigerous and only two out of 27 people who got shortlisted after the written exam were able to make it.

These two students deserved the offer, but what irked most was their attitude towards interviews. A guy called Ashwin P faced more than 8 hours of interview in total of 5 rounds. Guess! They said “Sorry”. WTF! If these people didnt have to take him, just say him Goodbye in the second ot third round itself. Another very shocking outcome was that of Ayush Sinha. I expected him to get through, but maybe the MS guys thought otherwise.

I met a Senior Test Manager of Visual Studio Team where I perused my internship. His name was Dinesh Bhat, though he didnt recognize me in the first instance, some minor hints made him go back two months and recollect the information. His weirdest reaction was when I said “Sir! Remember, you made the plan for movie Outing - Indiana Jones”.

Well, its time for party, booze and celebrations. Those who couldnt make it, its time to move on. Microsoft is not the only company where one can make his/her carreer.
