Just watched the highlights and great jobs guys. Lots of interesting stuff in iot, ml and hololens. Hopefully some of these will see day light soon. Work cutout for Google tomorrow 🙂.
Any other companies doing this? Seems like an extreme step from a company like Microsoft specially when Amazon and Google are not doing this.
Microsoft has an internal conference called MLADS for machine learning and data science. The bar is not that high, lets be honest. If I have published some papers or present a poster at the conference, how should I put it on my resume, if at all? People from other companies probably don’t even know ...Read more

I am a software engineer at Microsoft. My manager wants me to commit to attending a conference in the next business cycle. It is fairly open ended and I can choose anything I want to learn about within reason. I have been to Grace Hopper and Microsoft Build. Looking for recommendations of conferen...Read more
Seems like zoom is all the rage these days... Does anyone here prefer Microsoft Teams or another video conferencing software over zoom?
Microsoft teams will eat their lunch. Google can do the same if they wanted to. The company’s stock is declining. They’re losing customers. The pandemic is over. Video conferencing is too limited in scope for the company.
Box employees, Can you please share some insights? I have an interview opportunity. I was at Box's conference last week and heard from partners that customers are moving to Microsoft. Microsoft is heavily investing and throwing away storage for cheap. The attendance at Box's conference was lacklu...Read more

Conference call Monday laid off the entire retail merchandising/marketing field team and their support. Including managers and up. Related, anyone know of any field teams hiring or remote marketing teams hiring would love a referral!#Microsoft #gaming #operations
With the launch of the new wokeness 'phase 2' initiative at Microsoft that involves describing ones physical appearance and pronoun before speaking, is anyone else second guessing accepting an offer there? I always respected the company but this virtue signaling is truly mind blowing. At the recent...Read more
I get to go to one conference in 2024, one from some major industry player like Microsoft, Google or a general one covering Cloud. TC: 151k
How does the company stay afloat if Microsoft can give Teams away for free (even if Teams isn’t quite as polished, functionally it has parity wirh Slack and the video conferencing capabilities are even better). Any Slack folks have some sense of what’s going on over there?
I am currently interviewing with Microsoft for a Premier Field Engineer position. One of the topics that came up was about being open on doing workshops and presentations for various conferences. Now I am curious which conferences PFEs present and do the workshops at? How often do they present? Do ...Read more
You can't meeting and press conference your way to a killer product. That's why very few products at big companies are made when it's not a startup. Google Search - Google was a startup when it made this Google Maps -acquired Microsoft Office -acquired YouTube -acquired Microsoft Windows -first...Read more
Does MSFT or any other company pay for guys to attend Grace Hopper too?? I know guys are welcomed to attend the conference but does MSFT promote that? In my opinion, it should. That's like another step towards gender equality.
