During my freshman year in college, I joined and eventually chaired our school’s ACM Windows programming student group. One day, one of my friends, who is now at Microsoft Research, mentioned that Microsoft was looking for a new Student Consultant for next year. His friend was the current SC and his only job seemed to be giving away xboxes and software, so I thought, hey I want to do that.
If you want an idea of what it’s like to work for either Microsoft, Google or Yahoo!, this guy has the answer. It’s easy for him to relay the stories, since he’s worked for all three.
