    Windows ME is like a botched alpha of windows XP with a DOS backbone. I swear a security update for it is called Iron Lung

    Miscrosoft turned me down for the only internship I can apply to at this point: the "diversity" internship, which doesn't work because I'm a white male. Oh well.

    Beeing a white male these days ain't too great. Ever thought about an operation? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Theres webpages dedicated specifically to Microsoft interview stories, search around on google for "<a href='http://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+interview' target='_blank'>Microsoft Interview</a>". Better start finding out how many stacked quarters it would take to reach the height of the Empire State building. Good luck <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Don't say Linux rules in the interview like in Dilbert. Bill Gates will fire missles at you.

    Just an update guys. They are flying me out tomorrow evening. I'll be back Friday afternoon. (And I have my second phone interview for nVidia scheduled a few hours after that.)

    Congrats man. I'll go answer some usenet posts in some vague effort to become an MVP.

    Seriously though, how did they "discover" you? Did you apply? Did you submit a knowledgebase article? What?

    If both Nvidia and Microsoft want you that'll obviously get you in a good position. Milk them for the biggest paychecks!

    I got this flyout interview after just talking to a guy at a job fair at school. I didn't think I even did that well in the conversation, but apparently I got across to him better than I thought.

    Same thing with the nVidia phone interviews, except for those they actually have you work problems on the spot at the job fair.

    Thanks for the support. I'm wiggin' out right now just considering the logistics of getting out there. I haven't even started thinking about the interview yet. I've never really travelled in any complex fashion by myself, so this will be an experience.

    Man, you positively rock. In the end though, choosing which job comes down to these few things;

    Money. (Self-Explanatory)
    Location. (Do you <i>want</i> to live where they are located?)
    Comfort. (How's the atmosphere? A tense workplace = tense, irritated workers.)
    Co-Workers. (Tied to the above, though somewhat variable.)
    Your preferences. (Self-Explanatory.)

    I wish you the best in either case.

    -------------------
    Hah, or did you already choose which job? I answered this without reading the whole thing, so I probably missed it if you did.
