I'm a really big windows expert. I've reverse engineered alot of it. Big fanboy, one of the most knowledgeable people about it. Ever since interviewing and declining a Microsoft position, it's clear the people their are absolute idiots. My first interview round as a C++/C kernel dev, was for a C# job? I passed and got the offer, then they send me for a systems admin role after I decline? From recruiters, to actual engineers there, the level of incompetence was insane. I will NEVER work or support this company in any way until they get rid of all the H1BSlop they have pushing these horrible updates. I think Apple and Meta are the only major tech companies not held up by velocity and actually have functional organizations. It's not a surprise seeing all of these bugs. And there's multiple bug reports i've submitted that go unsolved in their win32 or kernel API's. ESPECIALLY for new features. It's sad how they've fallen so much. If I can find these bugs in 5 minutes using IDA, how come they aren't catching it in code reviews?

Why haven't you reached out to the MS Kernel Core team? They have various ways to contact them. That would put you on the right course to the right team instead of the front door approach, assuming they are interested.
Honestly, I was working for the government and now work for a antivirus company where I work remote and make a very good wage and have an amazing WLB. Maybe once I have kids I will, but being a mid 30's bachelor where I am now is heaven.

The reason for the mismatch was the cleared positions are Azure, so was hoping for a position as a developer on the Defender product, but they don't really have that in the cleared space.
