I applied for a Software Engineering internship at Microsoft and was rejected. However, they've offered me an interview for an ESE (service engineering) internship instead.

Is anyone familiar with this position? I've read through the description they've sent me, but I'm still not exactly sure what it entails. I really want to go into software engineering, so I'm not sure if this would be the best fit for me.

Based on the description it looks like you'll be doing some programming and working closely with software engineers. If you don't have a lot of programming experience this could be a great way to learn and get your foot in the door.

Thanks, just wanted to know if this was worthwhile as opposed to a full-on software engineering internship.
