I can say that it was perhaps one of the greatest experiences of my life. Everyone, and i mean everyone, who i talked too about working for them love their jobs. The money was great, and i learned alot about not just programming and such, but how to be enthuastic about your job. I was looking forward to going to work, to work on my code, to having bull sessions about how i can improve my work.
The enviorment is the best....where what ever you want to work, jeans and tshirts are just fine. free soda/milk juice (but the coffee stinks)...come in pretty much when ever you want. The company is based off of a pyrmid structure, only one manager telling me what do to...I was 6 degrees away from Bill Gates (IE there were only six people above me until Bill), no 12 managers with their own agenda
About long hours...the policy is work as long as you have to, to do a job well done, and make all of your meetings (lots of meetings no matter where you are on the cooperate structure) some only need to work 40 hours, they can get done in that time (unless a product is going to ship), but I was encourged to work harder/longer just becuase of the atmosphere of the place.
EVen if you hate MS, if you can get an intership, do so. The money is great, so are the benifits, and you learn so much
I am trying to develop a career in law, working in Intellectual Properties. Whats the best way ( a good way) for a young person like me, who has had no prior experience in law, to be a successful student, and develop a successful career?
I am 22 years old, i just graduated from the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champign in computer engineering, and had several interships to supplement my education. even though i am working in Information Technology, I have started the process of applying to law schools in the Chicago area. I would like to incorperate my education in techonlogy with one in law, and would appreciate any advice you can offer.
Thanks
