The biggest vindication of your .Net developer status would be if Microsoft wanted to employ you! And it happened to me…

I recently blogged about maybe being interested in a career change  , and Siddharth Bhatia  , a Group Program Manager from Microsoft posted a comment  asking to get in touch.

We had a lengthy conversation that ended in him asking if I would be interested in a position in Redmond. I should note that he did not at any time offer me a position as there is a lengthy process at Microsoft to get to that stage.

Obviously I said yes and he got one of his development managers, Scot Gellock  , to email me and go through the preliminary’s. This is where we ran into a problem…a Visa problem.

As I understand it, I would require a H1B  vista to work in the US. These are in limited supply, start only on 1st September and it it too late to apply…

I am not giving up on this, but there are few other options…
