I submitted my resume at a campus career fair and got an on-campus interview. After two weeks, I received a notification from HR stating there would be an on-site interview in Redmond, WA. So, I flew to Seattle at the end of that month.

I had only three interviews over that time, so I knew I wouldn't have a chance to be selected. The first one went well, I think. We talked about some of my experience and why I wanted to become an SDET. The question was how to find differences in two arrays of integers.

The second interview was the start of my screw-up. I was asked to design a piggy bank for coins and write functions for a queue, like enqueue and dequeue. I didn't feel well during this time because I thought my interviewer was always staring at me with his poker face, which made me very nervous. I also failed to find a bug in my function during this interview.

In my last interview, I spent time with a very senior USB test software engineer. We talked about Microsoft's history and some of my project experience. I realized then that I was not that interested in testing at that moment. Afterward, we returned to his office, and he asked me a coding question.
