Really depends which Team and Group you're in. Microsoft, like many LARGE Tech companies has many micro cultures/cults. Always work for excellent world class Managers and skip Managers. Expect regular reorgs as turf wars are won and lost.
Just about to join Microsoft - good to know some of these things 😂 I’m most nervous about switching from Kotlin (JVM language) to C# - I feel like I got spoilt using Micronaut/Kotlin

So i don't really want to work at any company i just want to create my own holding company and then build a bunch of subsidiaries (haha dreams hey). My main goal is to create a social network but i don't know which stack to go with, i've heard about scalability and all those things one should consider when choosing a stack but as someone who is yet to start programming i don't know what to learn can you please advise? I'm in my final year of optometry by the way 😀
Sorry but I got another doubt, can you please tell me how to get into colleges like Stanford and Harvard. Can we study there while doing job in a big tech company. Or do they give a chance to do masters to experienced professionals?. I am from India and the best choice that I got rn for my bachelor's is IITs and NITs.
Both schools would reject me if I applied so I can’t really say, but I’d say get a good score on SAT with spectacular extra curriculars :0 You can study while working although that’s usually possible for doing masters as there are programs for working professionals
Anyone can become a SWE from any background without any CS related degrees etc. I’ve seen plenty of people make the career transition from various fields. You just need the right skillset and determination to become one yourself. Having said that, having a degree or certificates related to CS does help a lot, but it’s not a strict requirement. Hope this answers your question :)
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Thanks for the reply! One day I also want work on Azure, my dream to become an architect there. Btw is it true that those people(architects that develop Azure) one of the best and smartest people? ☺

Hey Study what you just said , “Inspiring leadership “from a leader in a “FANNG “Company !!! .You know what has Fangs right !? Snakes and Vampires …🤣🤣😂😂😂
I'm a 20-yo employee. I saw the last of the Gates era and lived all through the Ballmer stagnation. I've seen the culture of the company make a huge change under Satya. An amazing change. Still not perfect, but it is so different from how it was 20 years ago. I agree that while it is not always easy to deal with, the care for security is reflected in many of the internal processes and policies. For me, the biggest downside is that here in WA, MS is not a pet-friendly workplace. Urban rumors talk about an incident decades ago, when a customer was attacked by an employee's dog in an MS building.
No offense, but is it with people and their obsession with bringing their pets everywhere? I have a severe allergy, and once had to give away my seat on a flight, and catch another one, all because the airline did not want to re-book the passenger traveling with her dog (no it was not a legal aid animal, just a regular pet, the attendant informed me.) Even more, when I used to work in the gig economy during college, people would come to the door and just let their dogs burst out, and bark at me, and some even try to jump on me as I run to get away. Maybe it's cultural differences, but I just don't understand, not everyone loves dogs, and some people may have serious health risks
@@CultureShockAddict I'm taking my dog on flight with me because I'm going to be at home over the holidays for 3 weeks. Hope everyone doesn't hate me lmao I'm flying first in hopes there's more space T_T I'm really dreading it tbh

For real, configuration and set up are always the worst thing. I would delay upgrading my laptop if that means I don't have to set up a brand new one for my workflow from scratch :v
'tunes' is my office. No tunes = no flow = no output. Unless I really need to concentrate on something. Then I turn the music down to zero but leave my plugs in 🎧 Telecommute 100% is the best. Seriously do you need to be in an office!?
Great video, I work in Microsoft and I hope I am not one of the 🤖. The only thing that I disagree or at least my experience has been different than yours is about the tech stack, the dogfooding of products and that you cannot use a mac. First the tech stack for a new project is not imposed by the company instead is responsibility of the team to decide what technology they want to use, but the “want” has to be decided pragmatically this mean taking into account the team experience and if it really has a benefit over others that the team has more experience there are a lot of projects in Microsoft than don’t use C# but node, python, go, rust and java. Dogfooding the company products is totally optional but recommended but there are no directives at least in my org that prohibit you to use the oficial release. And about mac, you can ask for one instead of having a surface, the only requirements is that your project has to be compatible with the platform I have 3 team mates that work on macs.
i guess it really depends on the orgs then. here, you have no option other than C#, and dogfooding is the expected choice unless you have an argument that greatly justifies it. also, surface book is a luxury item only managers have access to. it's either a pc or a laptop with windows on it for ICs. a Mac? in my dreams...
Without sharing too many details on the technologies, I regularly use a MAC, because it makes sense for my needs. So it really depends what you have to do with your laptop.
Meetings and bureaucracy? You described every Fortune 100 company I’ve worked for. Don’t ever take a manager role, your entire calendar will be booked with overlapping meetings.
Just stumbled on your channel as I just started my CIS courses this fall! Currently learning the basics and started with C++. I really like how you are an insider in the industry and are able to give us outsiders insider info! I really hope you can make more videos on how you or a person should get started!
Ericsson also has matching donations. Employees usually voice that they want a donation campaign for something (or company proposes, for instance for relief in hunger or covid striken poor countries) and as much as employees collect, the company will match their entire amount. Even sometimes give more than employees collected. Humanity first.
Private offices, nice. Shame it ended. It seems only right, a measure of respect for your time & concentration... a developer worth hiring should surely produce more value than a few square metres of floor space? My WFH ends early next year... back to the crammed in open plan crap.
Thanks for this! I just got an offer from microsoft at the Silicon Valley Campus, so this is great info. I have one question: Does the Sililcon valley campus give free food for all meals or just lunch? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I am from India and i have an ambition to join one of the big tech companies like FAANGM. I am already working as a react developer so i would love to see how do you structure your code and what would be a difference between a noob coder vs you ( including good practices, how much time you should take before giving ETA etc. ) Please do a video on this. 🙏
Another Microsoftie here but in Australia. I work with external customers hence get to use a lot of non-MS tech too (as long it runs in Azure). Also while most of the benefits are similar we don't get as many things as you folks in the USA. Compared to the other big tech companies here though it's clearly the best.
Avoiding Hololens? Why is that? I talked with the team there and it seemed like interesting work though they seemed stressed balancing research and delivering production hardware.
@@PIRATEKINGDOM as well they should have signed with the military. people that argue against this stuff are oddly devoid of common sense when it comes to keeping a level balance amongst nations.
I disagree with what you said about "fixing broken pipeline, maintain infrastructure". Since the world are moving toward DevOps culture. All these stuff have been shifted left to the development team to take care of them self with some aid from DevOps/SRE team behind the scene for speed of delivery. To eliminate as much silo between multiple infrastructure/pipeline/development team as much as possible. Therefore, software engineer these day is not only about coding, but they should be able to maintain their own pipeline/infrastructure as well.
Pirate king!! That looks just like my mom’s workplace in redmond and she worked for Microsoft and her team got relocated or something too!! Do you remember a Sapna Nadkarni??
Hey Pirate King. I will be starting my graduation this year. Can you please make a video on how to get into game development industries like naughty dogs, Ubisoft etc. Please. It can be very helpful for me deciding my future. if it's not possible can you please answer my comment where can I find source to get some guidance on this topic
I honestly cannot give you any advice on this myself becuz I never had a full-time job at a game company before. I would think having a strong skill in DSA + good porfolio with proven experiences of making games yourself would help
Great video! I just wanted to mention that .NET 6 has a built-in PriotityQueue, which should make C# a great interview language now (it was the dealbreaker for me in previous years).
It seems the number of meetings is high due to people being chill and non-responsive. In my experience, there is a meeting for everything that is not answered by an e-mail or IMs.
I am not Microsoft but since long I am working on stuff like this. It’s batter then stuff out there in market. I am very much Interested in getting interviewed at there
Sir I found in internet that average lifetime earnings of a microsoft software engineer is about 15 million dollars. Can doctors in usa earn this kind of income in their lifetime? Please reply. Thanks a lot.
I have 10+ years in C# but I switched to Java on leetcode because of priority queue and also the fact that many companies don't use C#. I really like open source and glad my current company can use any tech stack. It's not that Microsoft doesn't allow other tech but you need to convince the team and need to deal with legal (means extra work). Also it's difficult to maintain if coworkers are not familiar with the open source tech. They have to ramp up on it and it took some time. It's pain. When I first worked at MIcrosoft, I had to share an office with a coworker since there were not enough offices. I had a coworker who actually lived in his office to pay off student loan faster. When Bill Gates were CEO, Microsoft had the best medical benefits. There was no deductible and copay. Pay nothing for medical expenses. I felt a lot of my Microsoft coworkers were stressed and boring. I am asian from overseas myself but I prefer a team that has mostly Americans (including American born asians) over a team that has a lot of non American asians from overseas. When I said American I actually meant people from liberal western countries. When your team has a lot of asians, it changed the working culture. Many overseas asian coworkers worked like they are in asian. They worked long hours and no wlb. I don't understand how some tech engineers can work in the same company for 20 years. I like to work at different companies to experience different company culture and learn different technologies. Oh I do think C# is better than Java since C# was designed to be better than the existing languages at that time and that included Java.
@@1MinuteFlipDoc I don't want to mention my company but it's a big German company. Also I resigned recently and will only be there for a few more weeks. I will take a break and do the things I needed to do and then look for a job after a few months.

My favourite benefit could be the monkey pet😂. I felt identified when you described the burocracy and the non programming stuff like pipelines, infraestructure, etc. I never would imagin this kind of activities for a software engineer in a big company
I work for a big tech company as a software engineer intern and all those cons are similar to what I have experienced/ seen from other engineers on other teams. The other day I tried to contact a principle engineer, in a meeting he said and I tried again, sorry in a meeting can't help right now. Help! Stackoverflow to the rescue....oh

@@1MinuteFlipDoc I don't want to mention my company but it's a big German company. Also I resigned recently and will only be there for a few more weeks. I will take a break and do the things I needed to do and then look for a job after a few months.
Actually I may switch to python since it also have a heap class.
@@schan263 oic! good luck on your next adventure! :)
Lol and I thought my companies benefits are trash. Compare to these software firms, my company is a Saint.
Such informative video thanks. I’ll be interning at Microsoft Redmond next summer and I’m soo exited

Oh I think I just found my new homie!! I love how honest and snarky you are!!! It's so refreshing!! I've been watching a lot of wfh swe videos lately. Why? Who knows! But I LOVE intelligent people and SWEs are def among them. Thank for making these insightful and funny videos!!
A recruiter reached out to me about a program manager job. Can anyone tell me what the interview process is like? (It’s a program manager job)
Will the paid days off increase with seniority?
15days/year seem quite “restrictive”..
Yeah, they increase by +5 days every 7 years
The fact that they let their employees to make videos like this says more about Microsoft than any other. Best of luck Microsoft!
what's the pay there. I got offered 100k and I was like, aren't you Microsoft?
Just joined and I have to say you're spot on on everything hahah. Sad about the tech stacks, hopefully C# is as amazing as you make it out to be!
My favourite benefit could be the monkey pet😂. I felt identified when you described the burocracy and the non programming stuff like pipelines, infraestructure, etc. I never would imagin this kind of activities for a software engineer in a big company
Let’s talk about your physical health. You have no muscle god damn.
yea i really do need to work out XD but no time now tho..
10 ill days would is just awful. We have 6 weeks per illness (fully paid) and multiple years at 60%
There are short and long term disability benefits which are different than sick and mental health time.
@@paulrnash okay, but even if i'm sick with a cold 6 weeks, i will get my full money. it resets every 12 month or at the end of each year.
Still better than the Amazon door policies esp apb’s
Wow great video! I will be starting at Microsoft out of university next year in the Azure Core team!
Congratz!
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Thanks 😊
C# great language. I like TypeScript better. I have my reasons.
I work for a big tech company as a software engineer intern and all those cons are similar to what I have experienced/ seen from other engineers on other teams. The other day I tried to contact a principle engineer, in a meeting he said and I tried again, sorry in a meeting can't help right now. Help! Stackoverflow to the rescue....oh
🤣🤣🤣 Meetings to reduce the number of meetings LMAO, that part I don't like
Let’s see how this goes- Finally got an interview with my fav company - TPM
Dude I friken love this guy. LOL so friken hilarious
Love your vids, informative, educational and great for the non & aspiring SW engineers like myself. 😁👍
Great insight to Microsoft, not many ms devs sharing considering it’s the mother of all software houses.
Sounds like a great place to work. That said, the idiots on blind seem to hate them.
Other companies do matching of donations to charity
You're bored
Sir can google software engineers lifetime earnings surpass 30million dollars? Nice video.
Never was a google engineer nor lived a lifetime yet so can’t really say but by salary alone without going above L5, I would think it’s hard
