Is it difficult to get a job at Microsoft?
- by Maxtor
I'm curious how difficult it really is to get a job working for Microsoft. Is Microsoft similar to Google in a sense that they hire people who are really good at programming?
Also, does participating in communities such as the forums at Microsoft help (if at all) you with getting selected for an interview ? How about being a MVP in something like C# and/or .NET?
Edit: This question refers only to programming jobs.
