Hey guys. Which teams in Microsoft would you guys recommend to start as a SWE new grad? (Office, UST, Security, Devops, Teams, VS? etc) I'm looking for suggestions ! Thanks!
Do not choose Xbox and Minecraft.
Could I ask why? I thought Xbox team were doing some cool stuff.
Reorg, budget cuts, turnover.
Go for Office or Azure(Network or Compute)
How's azure identity and bing/cortana
Azure identity is okay. Bing and Cortana belong to different orgs and are good, at least in Redmond. Given a chance go to Office.
Look at Blind posts on what the worst teams are.
Office is extremely stable, strong business, and excellent WLB. Azure is also a great place to be but more startup type culture. More stressful, probably will learn more, but almost certainly have less WLB. I'd definitely choose between these two orgs though.
Office. Teams. Azure.
Like you have a choice what group you are placed in ๐๐๐. You fell for the recruiterโs BS!! Get ready for that ๐ฆ๐
Theyโre letting you pick? ๐ค did you intern?
Not Really. I got the offer, and they asked me which team will I be interested in. I don't think they are letting me pick, but wanted to know which team are good for career growth.
