SW Engineering Interview: you have 2 minutes to build a rocket that can fly to the furthest galaxy via blackholes while spending the least amount of fuel and oxygen for the passengers Job: change the colour of the background of VS Code.
This exact question was asked in Samsung R&D coding interview. Travel through galaxies using blackholes and discover the galaxy that has life. The answer: Dijkstra's algorithm
The easiest and fastest way to get into these big companies (or any company) is always connections. If you weren't aware of it, you'd be surprise how thick the iceberg of connections is when you look inside a company. So reach out to people you know that may or may not have an opportunity lying for you

@@93hothead Yes but that's just unfortunately how the world works. If you have to choose between hiring a close family member/friend vs a complete stranger and both of them seem decently capable of pulling off the job, you'd choose the former.
I am close to finishing my Associate degree from a local tech school in software dev. This video reminds me so much of the resilience mentorship I had with Microsoft when I started. It's almost nostalgic, and heartwarming to see the whole company embraces the growth mindset they were teaching. The imposter syndrome is hitting hard as I start my job search and get interview experience - I really needed this reminder. ♥ Changing careers is hard!
Hello! I am also studying an associate degree in a local school of my country. They even have internship positions with Microsoft (I can't access to them because they're available in other city). I just wanted to ask you if there's a possibility to get hired just by having an associate degree, because I always see positions for more advanced degrees on their careers page.
I could never land a job like this, but I figured all one had to do was tell'em you hate consumer choice, love Bing, the Cloud and want to inject them into every facet of Windows. Maybe toss in that you've always wanted to make Teams a bootable OS.
making Teams a bootable OS would be a dream for them. That plus a 250 dollar netbook that can challenge Chromebook's dominance in k12. They want a larger piece of that huge pie.
Teams 20 years. Until Indians start treating American women with less contempt they aren’t hiring shit. Find another company from which to send money to your mom in India.
I've been in the tech industry as software engineer for 20+ years. Anyone that asks leetcode is lazy and doesn't know how to find good engineers. In the past, when I interview people, I focus on problem solving. I give them an example of the type of problems they will be asked to solve and the candidate to talk through it.
I'm much younger than you but I think for a giant like Microsoft does need to test leetcode. Of course it's not practical but it does help filter out the slow thinkers. People with high IQ can adopt and use any technology very quickly.

lol we programmed a sudoku solver in college but you can bet your ass that I would not be able to solve that one in an hour, even a day sounds hard. And I write this while I was just promoted to lead developer lmao

Great and candid tips! I can't stress the importance of networking to land a role at Microsoft - it's probably the most effective unofficial way to get in.
that's exactly what the companies want, you to have little excuse to leave and to love the company. Best believe though that when the numbers don't add up they will lay you off in a jiffy.
Thank you for the great video! Recently I have been studying programming, I live in poor eastern EU country, so there is rrom to grow and this video is very inspiring, thank you!
hyper specialization, the jobs in faang does not guarantee the best experience other than free food and some of those big corpo perks. Startup might be more fun for many people, but someone with mortgage and slaved to the bank might prefer to be corpo slave.
I watched this video because it says it is not leetcode, but actually the people who got interviewed as software engineer are saying it is leetcode and it is leetcode seriously, this TH-camr is such a liar 😠
It's not perfecting LeetCode questions, but using those problems in an interview to showcase your problem solving skills, attention to detail, and attitude. They want to know how you think most of the time. It sucks, but it's the filter that the industry has chosen.
To get hired at Microsoft is easy, just be an Indian. There are so many teams and projects entirely staffed with Indians. As an Indian you have a very good chance that your manager is Indian too.
why every creator on TH-cam troling leetcode on thumbnails just for views how shameless everybody knows that how important the leetcode problems to tackling dsa interviews
Didn't Steve Jobs say something about Microsoft being a company that tries to spit out 10.6 thousand products and they are all average.... Unlike, say, Apple, which is more specialized and higher quality
Thumbnail: "It's not leetcode."
Everyone in the video: "So yeah I did the classic leetcode problems..."
Exactly what I was about to comment.... In short, grind leetcode and have some interview preparation as well.
