The tech companies do invest a certain amount into new-grads. If you are a new grad in Microsoft working on most products you will get a weeklong training on how to build apps on azure (equivilant to azure level 1 certificate). You will also get invited to these pretty cool speaking events where they bring in people who have had TED-talks to discuss your transition.

- mips_avatar 6y agoI think it shows up internally I completed the training. They say at the end of the course, that you should be ready to take the official test. I think you get a discount on the test, but you do have to pay for it.
- game_the0ry 6y agoThat's good to hear and MS is doing the right thing, but this is not the case at many other companies.
- mips_avatar 6y agoThey could probably do more to make it an integrated experience (manager had no idea these things were happening). But I think Microsoft is trying to make people feel like they belong. If these events weren’t going on only CS graduates from top 20 CS schools would feel like they deserve to be there.
