- flamtap 7y agoCould be as simple as a networking thing. Czech/Slovak people know Czech/Slovak people, those people get recommended, etc.
- jhkjhtiou45 7y agoCould be that they aqui-hired some Slovak/Czech company that ended up working on .NET Core.
- JoeMayoBot 7y agoGreat minds - Microsoft is an increasingly diverse company and you'll see smart people from everywhere in the world there.
- DaiPlusPlus 7y agoAye. My team in DevDiv (home of .NET) had a Brit (me), a Turkish lady, two Russians, two Canadians (one French), three Indians, my lead was Mexican, and only 1 American.
- MStrehovsky 7y ago(Author of the "C# on Windows 3.11" hack here - and a Slovak.) I would say the concentration of Czech/Slovak people around .NET at MS is a result of accidents and networking. I got into the team thanks to a friend of a friend who heard I was interested. But yeah, it's a surprising number given the size of the population of Slovakia and Czech republic. There's a newly opened .NET development center in Prague so the number is likely going to grow (they do hire from all over the world though): https://karelz.github.io/hiring_prague_net/ https://karelz.github.io/hiring_prague_net/.
