Microsoft recently posted what I would consider to be my dream job with them. I want it, really, really bad. The competition will be huge I'm sure, and honestly I don't know what I'm up against. All I can really say about it is that I've been waiting for a position like this to come around for a long time.
My first interview attempt with Microsoft did not go well, and I'm not sure if that's because of a recruiting mismatch, poor expectations (for me or them), or something else. Probably a little of all of that. While I was disappointed with the outcome, I also knew before I left Redmond that it wasn't right.
But this is a gig that I was bugging one of the VP's about earlier this year, right about the time they announced they were making cuts. Many moons later, there it is. I've applied, I've made my pitch to the hiring manager, and crossing my fingers. I have some ideas about what to do next. We'll see how it goes.
