Since I joined Microsoft over 2 1/2 years ago, many of my friends and colleagues ask me how I like it and how things are going. To be more precise, often these friends tip their heads to the side and ask with great concern “How are you doing? Are you working all the time?”. In many cases, I think this would be the same manner that they may have inquired on my state after a death in the family:-) I don’t begrudge anyone for how they approach me in my choice to join Microsoft, and fully appreciate how Microsoft may be viewed from the outside – particularly since I was once on the outside and full of the misconceptions that my entire life outside of Microsoft would halt if I ever joined the organization.
My answer to these questions is a resounding “I am doing great!” and “I am not working more than I did before.” followed by an unsolicited "Best career decision I have ever made!" In fact, many people may not realize that I actually joined Microsoft to achieve a better balance between my work and personal life while still making a positive impact on the larger community. I can hear many people out there scoffing and laughing, but this was my motivation and I can happily say that my family has much better balance than before I joined Microsoft!
Now to the point of this post: Microsoft is holding a series of webcasts to promote various Microsoft technical roles in the services organization. Anyone is welcome to attend, and we are specifically highlighting several women in our organization who are in technical roles. There are a large number of technical roles at Microsoft, and these are but a few that may resonate with you. I can attest that my experience with Microsoft has been fulfilling, rewarding, and I am extremely happy that I joined Microsoft. I encourage everyone to attend and learn first-hand if one of these roles appeals to you.
