If Bill offered you a job would you take it?

Be honest, if M$ offered you a job with a nice sign on bonus, 401k, medical and a great salary what would you do?

a) I'd take the job but still wouldnt use any M$ products at home
b) Hell no I hate them and their products.
c) Hell yes and I'd waste their money playing Flight Sims and Real Time Strategy games all night on 3rd shift.
d) Of course I love M$!!

I would! As broke as I am I couldnt wait till payday Friday!! Hahaha. So my answer is C!!

401k??? Id take the job. Who in their right mind wouldn't. Hell, I would even try to tie a lead weight around M$ neck before I was finished.

I would, regardless of what i may think of M$. When it comes to paying the bills and putting food on the table, i'd work for anyone. I couldn't see M$ being any different from any other business.

Ive done lots of contract work for M$.... I would never pass up a Full-time opp there... The autmosphere is amazing... oddly enough the last time I worked there I was doing win2k setup support... one of my co-workers (who was full-time) was a linux buff.. I always though he was crazy for liking linux.. At the time i was an avid linux hater {runs and hides} not anymore though!

I would work for them, but I would exhaust all other options first.

SciYro · 05-03-2004, 12:51 AM

i wouldn't take it... id be much happier living in a forest with the bears and wolfs (actually that does sound nice, maybe if the world comes to an end ill have a place to live

) ,

If I don't need money so much, I would not take it. I will find the job that I love to do it.

megaspaz · 05-03-2004, 02:16 AM

i'm pretty sure that if you took a job at ms, option a) would be an invalid option as it would seem to me that you probably would be taking work home with you.

hallamigo · 05-03-2004, 02:34 AM

Nope, I quit a job that was a MS shop to start working for myself with all Linux because I just couldn't take it anymore. I had no desire to keep pushing out ASP sites and try to get the MS servers working right.

I'm unemployed , have quite a hard time to pay my bills.
The answer is :
NO!
I have my integrity to keep up.

Mega Man X · 05-03-2004, 03:11 AM

d) Of course I love M$!!

kalleanka · 05-03-2004, 09:17 AM

A)

I would love to hear the discussion at breaks and parties.

Blinker_Fluid · 05-03-2004, 09:37 AM

As with everything it depends on what the job is, how much they pay, etc, etc.
Couldn't be too much worse than one of my friends working at SCO...

No.
How hard is that single word to understand?
