October 24 My First Day At Microsoft !!!Yups dude, my first day at Microsoft !!! Yes, at Microsoft !!! The day about which I dreamt for around 4 long years...its a long time and finally I was going to be there, at Microsoft - the giant; which was around every corner of my mind - days and nights - about which I thought !
Before you start throwing in any congratulations mail to me, let me clear this air that I am still working with Persistent and am here just for a new project design. But still it is a kind of opportunity that I would have never got if I would have joined Microsoft directly. So, finally, that dream was getting too close, more close, and close...
After 26 hours of in-flight time, I reached here...Seattle - where it is actually, the Microsoft headquarters. Not to forget about the intense 10 days that I underwent...interviews, Visa, all formalities, packing and all that stuff. But it was done, everything was finished gracefully. Oh God! how come that happened? Rarest of times where I felt that luck was just favoring me and I was just showing immense confidence in it - surprising, seriously surpurising!!!
Everything that I thought about Microsoft - the poeple, the place, the environment...I was ready to experience it myself !!!
And yes, the day arrived. Thanks to Persistent for this. I was not too anxious too enter in, but a bit...after all its Microsoft - the place I always wanted to join. And before I entered, I just got a compliment about me being looking "great" and I was flattered..after all I was well prepared to enter...hehehe
My eyes were rolling and viewing each and every corner of the premises that I can blindly go and tell the locations now. Is this what my imaginations were all about? Well, I guess not...seriously it was much more than that!!! But overall it was good :)
I still have not seen the full power of what it is all about, but I guess infrastructure can not describe it actually...its all in brains!!! And people in my team back home India is no less :) Its all about dedication and way you enjoy and work. And its same for me from wherever I am working - My home, office, my hostel room or Microsoft office...
The first day in itself has been a great learning experience and I am more committed to work towards my firm, because I know where the "Real Power" lies...And not to forget, I am learning new things as well as each new enviornment teaches you something new or the other...
Thank God...my final goal wasnt just getting into Microsoft...otherwise I would have felt blank today...but now I am more excited...
Still, whenever dreams come true, its a great satisfaction and specially when you have really worked hard for it...and I add this day to my special ones :) Comments (2)
