I really enjoy Microsoft shit, and would love to work on something at the company especially in their open source / Linux based areas. Do I just need to grind leet code and go through some bs interview that will test me on shit completely irrelevant to my job or is there other ways?

Currently I contribute to a lot of Linux FOSS projects and have a pretty decent commit history.

I also want to continue to work remote. I live in Texas, and nearly have my house paid off and am only 28.

    Yes. You will be be asked to invert a binary tree to prove to us that you can actually work on Linux building aks features.

  • This is very doable! Grind leetcode and also make sure you can talk out loud while you solve problems, and show an interest in what the interviewer is saying. ☺️

  • Yeah..msft is probably the easier lc company to clear compared to faang. Msft gives right amount of importance to lc not too less not too much, as most of lc type code is not that much needed for daily work.

  • Also, get better at communicating your solutions and writing clean code.

      I see everywhere that wite clean code ...but what is clean code and what are some resources because the only thing i heard is define variable names which are understandable by other coders if he/she reads your code

      @UBEk20 There’s a lot of different conventions but one I use most often is that if it an expression (say array[index]) is used 3 or more times you should condense it/name it (varName = array[index] and then use varName)
