April 8, 2016

 Doing some research on high-tech companies interview process.

one of the top 100 places to work across all industries.

Understanding how to navigate the screening and hiring process is also important.
1. Apply for jobs that you are qualified for
2. Don't be intimidated by job listings
hired for long-term potential

3. The inside angle 
Microsoft gives a lot of weight to references from current employees. 
not single monoculture, more like a conglomeration of many smaller companies. 

4. Apply for multiple jobs, but keep it targeted. 

Julia's thoughts: 
1. Need to study C++
2. Need to take some crash courses for distributed system, and other areas. 
3. Every month spend 5-10 hours to cover some topics - study and get educated.  

5. Be persistent
6. Make a good first impression 
It's not just about you - team effort, not lone cowboy coder. 
It is about you - be specific about contributions you have personally made toward the success of previous projects. 
7. Understand the interview process
