I Asked Microsoft Software Engineers How To Get Hired
Thanks to @FilmoraWondershare for sponsoring this video. Today, I walk around Microsoft headquarters and ask Microsoft software engineers how to get into Microsoft and if they have any other advice. You'll want to watch till the end because many of these engineers have over 10 years of experience and interview candidates like you every single day. Today, they finally reveal all their secrets.

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.

Pissed at the clickbait
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.
Thats literally what it is. I also got hired at microsoft after college, and the job is very basic shit. But the interviews were hard.
Thats really true bro @@Lens_lores
@@Lens_loresMicrosoft after clg ? Must be tier 1 clg !
@@Tushar_995 luck bro
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
You bring your own keyboard in. Alex brings his own monitor in. You aren't the same.
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
Correct me if im wrong but hiring people based on connections is bad isn’t it?
@@93hotheadtheoretically yes but that's just how the world works
@@93hothead i had two guys one is my friend, other is not but my friend is as good as other guy then yes i would choose my friend, but if he is dump af then no
@@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.
That doesn't apply to Tech company
i love the content like in this interview, the question are straight into problem, keep up !!!
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!
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!
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.
lmfaooo
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.
Most of what I heard was have a good mindset and stay focused thanks for sharing!
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.
@@taibui8038 IQ number is a myth. It was developed to make school children join schools to continue their education back then. IQ never tells how intelligent you are. We have been living a lie. You can search on it. I came to know this from Carol Dweck book Mindset.
@@taibui8038Leetcode shouldn't be a thing period in any giant companies. If you have a high IQ (you don't from reading that comment) then you know Leetcode is available to the world meaning anyone can access it. So, I can make a company and brainwash young minded students like you lol to practice leetcode problems everyday just to pay them in minimum wage better than working at a fast-food industry. When a interview is ready, my students are prepared and passed the interview. In return, I want 25% of their Microsoft salary and the company secrets 🤌 But they're exactly companies does this today... Like communism countries... So... Leetcode shouldn't exist and it's just going to get worse each year for CS students and unversity/college... Most high IQ people will find a way to make serious money from making a software or a product so they're can retired early in life than being in a dead end job. They'll only need a good idea, concept, and most importantly time...
can they faster than chatgpt?@@taibui8038
hi bro i have a question -how much money you make in a month. that would be very beneficial for me, cuz i'm freshman in cs, what do u suggest for me, thanks))
Appreciate it Can you do more cloud / solution architects interviews?
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
i tried it a while back and gave up after like 40 minutes. it sounded easy enough but it really wasn't (for me) lol
@@randomname6444I would just try till I run out of time. I think the only way to pass leetcode question is to have a mastery of the langanguage at and common Search algorithms. You might even need to build a Graph and search it.
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.
create sudoku solver in an interview is VERY HARD! no way I can pass that
I'm literally searching for what is Sudoku, to begin with.
@@t6hp a very complicated board game
That's literally a project 😅
@@PulkitAgrawal1999 exactly! a project that needs a day to get finished unless you're super good.
LeetCode has a problem for that.
This was great, thanks 🧡
step 1. be from india
Pro tip. Indians hire other indians
😂
🤣🤣
😂
Or any other type of Asians
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.
the info is like out of borders for whom, are willing to know... thanksalot brother
Thanks bro for these type of videos❤
Alex starting monitors business very soon after he takes a monitor each day
I love these people, just running around with a fucking monitor xD
@10:17 Namanh was definitely doing his best to hold it together there.
🤣🤣
😂 for sure! Tech life yayy haha
*her and also i was looking for comments related to that statement and found it😂😂
Great video! Did you end up watching a small light? (Ps from the live stream)
Hello i wish to know if i can learn c language as a beginner on Code-academy or CS50?? Thanks
Great video!
*gets asked to program Sudoku solver in interview Alex: Oh wow this is gonna be such fun! haha Me: Guess I'll die
cant wait to see sam altman next time
7:10 23 yrs thats kinda huge
That guy who carries around that monitor lol
Oh I saw Sid here! Once he said, he is not doing jod in Microsoft. But he is still doing 🤔 kinda confused
Why do the majority only have 2 years @ company?
That guy was stealing a screen and managed to fake his way out of this interview
1:20&& MOST IMPORTANT (in my opinion)🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why Azure logo is old one you need to keep new logo.
can you make a full video with mayuri how he get MS
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 KZheadr 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.
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.
Hey that guy said resigned i told in one of his video he is here again
Do one for apple also!!
Grabbing balls! Major pause
That's Microsoft SVC, not HQ, but love the video!
Mayuris advice felt the best
So basically i need to grab a bunch of balls and I can get a job. I've been practicing this my whole life.
I just quit my job and will spend 6 months to solve 300 leetcode questions this year to prepare for the Google interview!
Shout out to my boy Sid aka brown tech daddy 🤞🏾
10:17 grab the balls…check ✅
Sudoku solver! That sounds like a fun beginner exercise! ...well there goes my day of actual productivity! ~( ̄▽ ̄)~
did you actually do it? i tried the sudoku solver excercise a while back and gave up after about 40 minutes lol
@@randomname6444 Common man... its not that hard, it takes about 30 minutes if you are experiences enough.
@@laurentiumocacoca175 guess I'm not experienced enough then
Hey, that's me! Thanks for interviewing me, it was fun! To those wondering, I got hired here by grabbing life by the balls.
Oh what a way of not telling the real process
0:00 why is bro carrying a tv 💀
shhh
So I’m still in school but I already know that I will be a software engineer. I hope i get into Microsoft some day 😅
Microsoft is my favorite tech company. I would love to work there.
Sameee

I Tried to learn python programming language since 2 years ago still not try to solve a basic problem so help me what to do?
i know that is seattle, i miss so much seattle, idk why but this video got me a little sad, nostalgia hittin hard rn ngl
it's not seattle, it is california

Please interview some QA Engineers as well. We too exist 😭
No one cares about you😂
lmao "engineer"
@@Krapvag dude that clicks buttons in an app. "Engineer" 😂
Get a grip people, QA is super important to our work.
Spoiler: The guy with the monitor is actually an on-site support technician who is simply enjoying themselves 😂
10:20 grab some balls lmfao
Everyone (including me): I also want to live that dream Mr pool 😢
4:49 is his way of saying hes automating away his coworkers jobs
he is a technical account manager g
These top companies are stressful af
It has never have been leetcode to get a job. They are looking for how you solve the problems and explained them what you did.
Rip sentence structure
sick video, but please get a better mic
as a fellow indian in software engineering, im proud :)
he's my dad
Did you shake that guy's upper arm as a greeting? Very awkward.
Hahaha focus on the content bruh
Came early 🎉
let's goooooooo
the audio quality was so weird on this
mic was messed up, will be better next time !
Which advice would you give an individual who wants to go all out on Java? (Next Interview ☺)
The first is a fellow youtuber
homie worked there for 10 years and just got paid for nothing basically i love how economy works
So basically C++ == asians C# == Indians Python == Confused Sr Devs who wanna run startups
wow, just wasted 10mins that I will never get back, thanks
The one guy steals monitors every day and sells them on the side
Have the bloodlines
1:00
all that money and no drip
So many Indians and Asians.
Survivor Bias.
Why are we talking about balls 🏀 so much 😂
Get out there and grab some balls that are dropping!
Yellow: hardware Brown: software White: admin
lol
So basically the coloreds have to do everything and white ones get to take credit
Use of be hated actually love it more better really
I mean, a developer is just a small cog of the entire industry, you wont learn shit about PM PA or BA on leetcode
Let's grab some balls!
Geeks, bruv.
Step 1: be Asian or from some part of Asia.
The imposter syndrom
My dream job is to be a software eng. 👌 Hopefully someday I can achieve that level 👌
It's oversaturated, give up

Abraço de Portugal🇵🇹👍
That's not the headquarters - that's the Mountain View office
Ok?
Good video, but there's a strong stereotype on it and I think it shows. It's just how society is
dropping me into more depression 😢
why every creator on KZhead troling leetcode on thumbnails just for views how shameless everybody knows that how important the leetcode problems to tackling dsa interviews
Key take aways: grab balls and you'll do great
ask money man
Did anyone see the guy disapper
homie does not know much just got the title and got deep voice so whatever he says is auto validated 2+ 2 = 5
the dude in the green eagle shirt has no memory about the job and the code thats fkn pathetic and resonating from almost every faang employee, they remember the trips, free food, and all the bs that is not even related to the job lmaooooooooooo
