Yep. I have an internship there this summer, and I'll be moving from Calgary, which gets the most hours of sunlight of any city in Canada. Hope the change won't be too jarring/depressing... it was overcast every day when I was there for interviews.


Summers are why you live in Seattle. 80°F, sunny, and beautiful every day (after July 5th)! We get about 16 hours of sunlight on the summer solstice.

There are actually cases of people getting SAD from the over abundance of sunlight in the summer (http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2012/10/depression-from-too-mu...)


Moving from seattle to the bay area you basically get that for about 8/9 months on end.


The summer is the time for sun in Seattle. This entire summer was clear skies every single day.

This summer was awesome, but it was not typical. Summer 2010 was terrible. 60 degrees and cloudy/rainy throughout.


So far that makes 3 confirmed interns, it would appear microsoft has recruited half the comp sci department.

I used to live a few hundred kilometers away from Seattle in the same temperature area, I can say for sure I'm looking forward to this summer!


Nice, always great to run into someone else from the u of c. Happy so many people from our school made it. Did you interview?


Yup, interviewed on the 30th. It was a lot of fun, which you knew. Now I'm trying to convince all my friends to apply.


My buddy in 4th yr Software Engineering just got a fulltime job there.
