I’m being asked to rank these tracks from 1-3 and was wondering if anyone has first-hand experience on these teams or recommendations for someone just starting at L59. Services includes VSTS, TFS, and a couple Azure services (Redis, Labs). Compilers includes the C++, JS, TS, C#, etc. compilers/runtimes. Tools seems like it’s every team on the core Visual Studio app.
My take: 1. Azure Services 2. VSTS 3. Compilers This is the sequence of what work history will look most appealing to future recruiters on your resume.
I work in services and would pick someone with compiler experience every time. If you can learn that, you can learn anything.
Absolutely disagree with the above post. And I have worked in dev div. If you like low level programming then choose one of the compiler backend teams or JIT team. If you like programming languagea then choose front end parser teams.

If you're a compiler guy, the choice is easy. If you're not, I would choose services. I have friends on the services team and they're pretty happy.
