I've got a Microsoft interview scheduled! Courtney and I are going out to Seattle for 17-21 March, with my 5 SDET interviews scheduled for March 20th.
I had two phone screens before this, one with a recruiter, and one with a test manager.
MSFT presented me with 4 teams that are interested in talking to me. Guess how they choose which ones I interview with (you can only interview with 2 teams)? They asked me which ones sounded coolest to me.
The four teams were(in my coolness order):

hi,
Thanks for the cool posts and congrats for the job at MS. If possible could you please pass on some views.
When you interviewed for a SDET position were you working on a dev position or a tester position? basically the question is, is the SDET position good for some one who has spent around 7-8 yrs as a dev? I have just heard from MS recruiters for SDET positions and wanted to check before starting with the interviews.
thanks very much.
I was working as a dev; I've never been a tester, nor have I seen a place where testers wrote code before.
I spend at least 70% of my time writing code of some sort. Plus, if nothing else, it's a foot in the door, and moving teams within Microsoft is really easy.
