Agree, although at some places being a ballet dancer is a formal requirement - e.g. I was thinking to get a PhD some years ago only to be able to work in places like Microsoft Research, but eventually decided that it was not worth it... Also, there were no REMOTE PhD positions :)

Not everyone at MSR have phd's, some of our best people don't.

I see you're based in Beijing. I even remember it was explicitly mentioned on MSR jobs page that PhD was not required for Asian sites (India and probably China).

Also in Redmond. Many are RSDEs, but there are also some researchers (principals even).
