Accepted into Core Services team as a new grad, really like the manager there and was excited. However I searched Core Services on this app and saw a million threads saying it’s the worst place to be in Ms. I start very soon and turned Uber down for this. Not sure what to do now except for change team ASAP.
At least a year and you will need to interview for new teams. But why assume the worst? You like the manager. Go in with a positive attitude and work on important things for the group.
I’m just worried it’ll hurt my resume and recruiters will ignore me just cause I worked on that
That’s dumb lol. Just do a good job and have fun. It’s great on resume
What made you like the manager and perhaps the team?
He just seemed to have vision about it. I wasn’t a big fan of working on internal tools but I thought it’d be okay for a while at least
If you like I'd say stick with the team, Core services isn't a bad idea. And for your question on the other thread as to where to live. If you are 25 or less and you like night life I'd say stay in Seattle. This age isn't coming back and you are not going to like Redmond unless you like Netflix nights.
If you think it will hurt your resume, then why did you accept? Not trolling - you had a reason that you liked them. Is that still valid? If so then going there may be good for you. If not maybe do some searching inside and think about what you really want.
I switched teams 2 months after I joined Microsoft, the original team I joined was not what I thought it was.
Old and new team? Why the move?
AAD to a team in WDG. The code was really complicated and it was going to take like a year to onboard. There wasn’t a lot of documentation, and the team was either to busy to help or didn’t understand the code themselves.
Hey OP, what did you end up doing?
Op
Try it out first and make your own judgement about it first. People’s sentiment on this app could be different from reality. Don’t go in there looking to get out, that’s not really a healthy way to look at it.
Do you think it’d hurt my resume?
That's ridiculous. Just kick ass and be able to talk about it when it comes to your next interviews
