Hi everyone, I was looking through the various categories in which I blog things today and I realized my career path has long been missing from this blog. Interestingly enough, I actually started this blog initially with the intent of documenting my career as I progressed through it in a really interesting time in my life (latter half of college) so I’ve decided to dedicate this post as a update to my career for those of you who don’t know yet.
I have been working at Microsoft for the last 6 months doing an internship in Microsoft IT. I began January 2nd 2007 actually so I’ve only actually been there for like 4 months with about 2 months to go. The internship has been a lot of fun, I’ve learned a HUGE amount about how large companies work as well as in regards to the work I actually do there which I’ll get into in a sec. I get to interact with a lot of extremely smart people everyday, the intern program here is very well developed, my manager and mentor are both awesome and very supportive, my team is super cool and very experienced and kind people, and my office mate Alex is an awesome dude as well. I have a lot of fun working at Microsoft, a lot more fun than I originally thought I would actually and it’s been a rewarding experience getting praise for the stuff I produce.
To be a little more specific, I work for the IT Showcase group. It is a content developing group within Microsoft that Showcases the stories of Microsoft best practices and dogfooding lessons learned. I do process optimization within the team which is pretty useful for any group as there are always redundancy issues in any large organization.
In terms of the future, Microsoft is definitely one of the companies that I am looking to work for, I’ve had a really positive experience in the environment, it’s been challenging but a great experience nonetheless.
Hmm, I guess I’m not really sure what other stuff to write about here? Please leave some comments if you have any curiosity about what I do or anything!!
