Strange coincidence - 2 yrs completion and I get a box !!
Yesterday I completed exactly 2 years at MS :-)...and co-incidentally got the VS 2005 box as a souvenier which has almost everything in it including VSTS suite (the product that I worked for right from day 1 at MS and which I am seeing ship now !) - well..technically I need to wait for TFS to RTM to feel realllyyyy proud and nice but heck thats just round the corner !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now with 2 years gone - I am actually looking forward to completing 5 years @MS. Well there are a bunch of benefits that you get if you complete 5 years (especially in the India Dev Center)..
- You get an office (yes the lesser mortals sit in cubicles here)
- You get a nice fancy shield for completing 5 years
- You get a card signed by BillG (no I dont think he signs it himself :( )
- And you get a nice sticker which says 'Ask me for how long have I been here' ...just makes people walking by think that you are a fairly senior person ;)
BTW if you want to take a look at the contents of the 'box' - the cool posters and what not - take a look at abhinab's blog...

That reminds me I have also completed my 2 years yesterday at MS and still haven't got that window cubical (grr...). I just hope they don't raise the 5year mark for getting an office as i am also looking forward to it :))...
But more than anything else i am waiting to get my first "ship it" and many more to follow it up. - Anonymous

Congratulations on completing 2 years at MS.
I checked u r comment in ISB mag-
As Khushboo Sharan, Programme Manager,
Microsoft, and an MBA herself, pointed
out, “Perhaps it would be useful to teach
students how to handle people, politics, and
smart email communication at B-School.”--
Thought of knowing about ur profile & u r career growth at MS..
Good luck - Anonymous
