Well, well, I'm a bad blogger, I know... However, right now my life is changing dramatically and I feel that I finally got something interesting to blog about.
Do you remember my commitment which I
made a year ago? Just after I've failed to get an internship in Redmond, I wrote:
'OK, I will try to shift "my best" at least one level up, I promise... Again, neither for internship, nor for Microsoft, but for me. I'm sure it pays off in this life-long challenge.'Frankly, it really pays off :-) During the last year I studied hard to improve my English and three months ago I passed a certification exam and got the
Cambridge FCE certificate (thanks goes to Ivan, an excellent teacher from England). I decided to write my diploma thesis in English language, which was quite a big challenge for me and involved a lot of work. Three weeks ago
I finished my University with a MSc in Computer Science and got an A from the diploma thesis. I also continued to work for
ORIWIN. We've finished some great projects and I was luckily enough to work with some great people.
When I was thinking what should I do after school, I focused on my primary imperative. I knew I have to work on something I will be passionate about with a lot of possibilities to learn new things and big impact on both local (team) and global (world) scale. I also wanted to work with determined, energetic and smart people. Now guess what was the first place where I sent my CV. ;-)
After number of exciting interviews with really great people, I finally got the result. I've got the job! I'm joining a local MS subsidiary here in Slovakia as a .NET Consultant / .NET Developer in the Services division this September (FTE position).
I love it. Furthermore, if nothing bad happens, I'll be in the
MACH program (Microsoft Academy for College Hires) starting in January 2007. It's a special two-year long program for fresh graduates with mentors, great projects, possibility to meet interesting people from all-over the world and so on.
It's really nice when dreams become reality. I’m thrilled...
