If you’ve watched some of my previous videos, I document almost my entire process of graduating from UC San Diego, interviewing and accepting a job at Microsoft. First as a pure software engineer and then eventually a program manager.

At Microsoft, my position changed several times over the nearly 2 years I was there. I interviewed as a software engineer, but transitioned to a program manager-software engineer hybrid before starting. Where I was writing tons of code in addition to program management tasks.

Then I moved into more of a machine learning engineering role where I built many machine learning pipelines as well as some technical program management (this was all under the same title of Program Manager btw).

My final iteration before deciding to leave was that of a product manager. My responsibilities as a product manager were much less technical and a lot more customer requirements and planning focused.

Now with that context, why am I leaving?
It should be noted that it was a very amicable departure, nothing happened, my former team and I are on good terms, and I did this voluntarily. My team had fantastic people and Microsoft is a great company, and I would have had no complaints staying there longer.

The main reason I decided to leave was for career interest and advancement. My area in Microsoft was interesting but I didn’t think it really aligned with what I wanted to do long term, or really what I saw myself doing. Nevertheless, I learned an absolute ton from my team and my time at Microsoft.

I did check out some other teams at Microsoft in areas like Xbox, Mixed Reality, and Cloud Advocacy, but ultimately decided on looking at some opportunities outside the company.

Retrospectively, throughout my time at Microsoft, I’ve met a ton of amazing and incredibly intelligent people, worked on some really interesting projects, and learned so much about tech and software engineering in general. So if you are a computer science student (or really any field) looking for jobs or internships in the tech space, I still highly suggest checking out Microsoft!

I’m saving where I’m going and what I’m doing for another video, but comment down below what you guys think I’m gonna do!
