QUESTION 14 OF 35

Tell me about the most exciting project you have worked on this year and the most significant thing you learned from it.

Your interviewer is proposing this question to see that you have passion and interest in the projects that you take on. Chances are, the gigs you find to be the most exciting are the ones that require the skills you enjoy flexing the most. Talk about one specific project, what the end goal was, what your role was through the project, and the best thing you learned along the way. Since this is an open-ended question, be aware of keeping your reply to the point and relatable to this role at Microsoft.

"The most exciting project that I have been a part of this year would have to be the AI integration I made on a payment system for one of my clients. I was the programming team lead and thoroughly enjoyed furthering my knowledge in machine learning during that project. I look forward to bringing this skills and knowledge I learned in this project to Microsoft."
