I just got back from Redmond last night. I interviewed for a summer internship with Microsoft as a Software Design Engineer in Test. Awesome experience. I should know the results tomorrow.
Btw, it was for Microsoft Office 12. :o

Yup. :o
Paid interneship?
If so... how much? :)
Just want to see how my pay compares to a MS intern :p
Yeah, it's paid. It's in the area of 4-5k/month. ;)

I doubt they would let you near their precious Windows kernel.
If that happened, I would die in a fire. :(Quote:

a microsoft rep comes to our school a couple times a year - he says that it is harder to get an internship with them than a job.
I can believe that. Just think about the numbers. 2000 on Office and only 120 interns. :dunno:Quote:

( Well, payments aren't really comparable between the US and EU anyway )
I should be happy that I even have an internship in the current market.
I'd rather have Euros than Dollars right now.
right now, maybe. but seeing as the whole world economy is run by the $, i woudln't keep them.

maybe once they lower their ~30% unemployment rate(this includes alot of the former-Soviet countries which are still screwed by all those years under that empire).Quote:
