Vote for prestige score In poll
Outlook is trash. Everyone uses Gmail. Unless you are tech lead owning lot of scope, don’t waste your time.
Speaking from a neutral perspective - how is outlook a trash ? Gmail for personal use - yes. But in commercial usage like for all my employers, I’ve used Outlook for work email.
Also don't agree outlook is trash. Just switched from Gmail to Outlook for my personal emails and I'm more than happy with it. Does everything I want
Not prestigious. Outlook is a C++ legacy mess. Zero transfer skills. Promos are notoriously slow in the office org. And a senior engineer at Microsoft has zero prestige. You'll never be considered as a senior engineer at most other companies when interviewing.
Outlook today is a pure web app. Not a line of c++ in sight.
@cloudeu this is not accurate. Firstly I don't think pure web app is the right term, and second the original Outlook is not decommissioned like your post suggests.
What the fuck does prestigious mean in this context. It's a job
Will your parents be impressed
If I get to VP I think my parents will be impressed. SWE 2 or 3? Lmao
I mean, it's one of the most used products on the planet. Define "prestigious". Do you mean "hip and cool" or "actually used by real people"?
Like impact, scope, skills, name brand
It's a pretty complex web app. I'd say it's modern in almost every way (except labels and categories, which for some reason still sucks).
Best way to know if it’s prestigious is to 1) step outside and 2) touch some grass lmfao
No SWE ar Microsoft is prestigious. The hiring bar is much lower than other big tech companies. If you think you got talent then prove it by leaving Microsoft 😂
Where did Satya hurt you?
He hurt us all microsofties by giving no merit increase.
This poll *might* be relevant if instead of a senior you were talking principal, but even then..
Is it the time of year for all the prestigious posts again?
