Journey to Microsoft..

I recently completed my summer internship as a Software Engineer intern at Microsoft for the summer of 2022.I must say it has been a journey of self discovery and confidence-building.

I remember back in January 2022 when I decided to apply.
After viewing the Ad, I immediately proceeded to the Microsoft careers portal to submit my application.

January 2022
I had submitted my application within 24 hours of viewing the job on LinkedIn and so the wait begun.

February 19th 2022
About 8 weeks later, I received a rejection email. I was not that disappointed(I mean come on, this is Microsoft) .

February 21st 2022
Received an email telling me to disregard the rejection.

March 7th 2022
Was invited to take an online coding test and participate in a first round interview phone screen. All this was to happen in the next 4 weeks.

April 22nd 2022

May 18th 2022
Received a Congratulatory email offering me a position as a SWE intern.
