I'm a ballz-out Linux hacker, I'm better off with someone like Red Hat.
I'm a ballz-out Linux hacker too, but I'll be making more dough at Sun Microsystems.
I hate these UNIX-savvy know-it-alls. I'm gonna make BANK working for Microsoft, just you watch!!!
Apple?
Forget the corporate scene, I'm programming for the CIA.
Forget the corporate scene, I'm programming for the FBI.
Forget office-cubicle life. I'm headed straight for grad. school -- getting my phd -- becoming a professor -- and having tenure take care of me for the rest of my life.
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind flipping burgers just as long as I'm still able to program.
Sheesh... I'm not even 16 yet, leave me alone!!!
Screw this poll, I already HAVE the job my dreams!!!
> If them MS campus is anything like what they had in "Antitrust" then I'm gonna have to kill all other applicants to ensure my place there...
Yeh? What's it like? I've never seen "Antitrust". Is it scenic or something? Or just unrealistic?

That's what I thought was kind of funny about the movie. What were they working on again? Some kind of satellite communications system? I would think some top guy of a company like that would be looking more for of a team of programmers with like 20 years of experience, rather than these hot shot rookies from stanford or mit or wherever.Originally posted by -KEN-

Good point.
Ramble on...
Antitrust is an awesome movie.
I have said it before and I will say it again...Every computer programmer has to see that movie.

you know... funny thing about the CIA is (from the poll), is that you must pass a polygraph test as part of the interview.
Antitrust, huh? I guess I'll try to rent it this weekend. Sounds interesting.

Really? How do you get MS to know who you are? Just send in applications, or something?

well, the way i knew them was because i went up to Redmond for so many meetings with them, at my former job, but getting to know people at microsoft, and establishing relationships with them is a good way to start out.
If you go apply for a job, they pound you through a full day of interviews and such, and your usually interviewed by 3-4 people. They throw you into a lot of situtations that you would run into when working there, and observe how you go about handling them. They'll also ask a few logic questions, mainly to see how your mind works, and your process of thinking.
The culture over there is pretty intense, they spent a day or two showing me around everything, they have a neat campus up in Redmond.
Basically it works like this, if your extremly intelligent, love technology, thrive under preasure, and enjoy working for the worlds largest provider of junk (), i mean software, then you'll like Microsoft, and you should probably apply.
