Hello UW Students,
We’re looking for students to participate in a product research study with the Visual Studio IDE team over at Microsoft! In particular, we’re recruiting undergraduates (preferably sophomores or juniors) with some coding experience (you’ve taken at least an introduction to programming course) and little to no experience with Visual Studio to help us improve the onboarding and getting started experience for customers new to Visual Studio.
If you’re interested, you should be available for one of the following days below. We ask that you’re able to spend 2 hours with us on the Microsoft campus and reserve time on either end to commute over to the Microsoft campus in Redmond (which is easily accessible via the 542 bus from the UW campus).
- Thursday 7/27
- Thursday 8/10
- Thursday 8/17
The first step is to email me (Cathy à cathys@microsoft.com) to let me know you’re interested and available for one of the listed days. If you meet the study criteria, an user experience recruiter will contact you to schedule the day/time that works best for you and share all the exact details with you.
This is a great opportunity to see how we do product research at Microsoft for developer tools. As a thank you for your time and participation, you will receive a generous gratuity! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you!
Cathy Sullivan
Senior Program Manager
