Interview
Gave my resume to a campus recruiter. Flew out to Redmond for HQ interview. Had about 4-5 interviews throughout the day and they were all about design except for the last one which was more technical in nature. One of the interviews was over lunch. The last interviewer asked me about classes I was currently taking and then based my interview question on the classes I said. I heard back the next day.
