If you were offered a job at Microsoft, would you accept it?

well depends.... i'd take it if it were part time. if it were full time... it would depend on how much they're offering, because i wouldn't want to forego my education for a quick buck. i would also take it if it were full time, but i could leave after half a year or something.

After I graduate or for an internship, heck yeah man. I'm sure it's at least better than average/decent pay, and a great enviroment.

You'd make a perfect Rest Room Attendent for Steve Balmers Private Privy.

You would be stupid to turn it down. After a few years you could pick just about any company to work for if you were not happy at Microsoft.

Hell yes.

I believe 'Gates Brown' is a good colour for my nose.

You are God Bill. Linus Torvalds sucks the sweat off of wrinkled, diseased, donkey nutsacks.
Sign my cheque (oops check to you Yanks).

Oh. wait. I must have glossed over the word 'job' in the thread title.

I will accept free money from Microsoft, but the whole 'job' thing would be just as much of a drag there as anywhere.

Thats why I choose to be a bum.

It's a hard knock life.

I would accept a job at Google though. Perks, perks, and more perks!

Care to explain why you wouldn't? :)

The jobs at google look pretty cool though.

Maybe if writing code is all you want to do with your life...

My job pays well enough, and I enjoy it. :) I also just bought a house, and I wouldn't want to move 2 weeks after closing.

I was actually offered an internship there, but I didnt take it because of family issues. If they ask me again, maybe I'll show up this time.
