Sometimes that works.
DS had a Jan 1 Postgrad internship with MS. At the end of that internship (India) a manager wanted to hire DS. HR said no. Ballmer placed hiring freeze. Chance and fresh with HR, they came up with another internship, Redmond. Microsoft flew him out from Geneva to Seattle, next day. On completion of this second MS internship, a manager wanted to hire-HR said no. His researcher at MS said to follow him to Germany where he is a professor at Potsdam (guy was on sabbatical to MS). This was spring 2009-not even a nibble from MS or anyone else other than his CMU professor who said to work her at UW. </p>
<p>Microsoft spent some princely moneys and not to eventually hire. Each of DS projects got written up in their research notes. He even got to meet Gates at a conference in Qatar, they flew him out from Seattle. DS even did a hack on kinect that got great reviews. Alas, it was not to be with Microsoft-</p>
<p>So now he works on Apple and Google platforms. :)</p>
