Hey everyone! I've seen many posts about the MS MVP program, but my situation feels a bit different. I'm 23 years old, studying IT and managing a student club focused on technology, specifically Microsoft workshops on Azure. We host around two workshops a month with 25-40 attendees, and we've built a community of about 400 members. Recently, a manager at Microsoft invited me to join the MVP program. I'm curious about whether this is a good move for me. I'm already enjoying helping fellow students and making industry connections, plus I think it would look good on my resume. If I join the program, will I need to do anything more than what I'm already doing? What benefits can I expect? And if you were in my shoes, would you go for it? Thanks!

You're already doing impactful work by running those workshops, so being recognized by Microsoft is significant. If you join, you’ll have the chance to engage with Microsoft employees directly, provide feedback, and even attend awesome conferences. Plus, you’ll probably gain access to free Microsoft products, which is a nice perk! As for benefits, you’ll definitely get some cool merchandise and it’ll look fab on your CV. In your case, I would definitely apply and see how it goes! Worst case, you try it out without a huge commitment. At 23, it's a great time to add this to your experience!
It sounds like a great opportunity! People spend their whole careers trying to become an MVP. Joining could seriously boost your resume and you'll gain respect in the tech community.
Yes, definitely apply! If they can convince you to join, it’s probably worth it. Plus, you’re already making a difference with your club now, so it just aligns with what you’re doing.
I say go for it! If they’re trying to recruit you, it must mean you’re doing something right. Plus, the MVP community is full of amazing people, which could help your career down the line. You might even find yourself getting your MVP status renewed easily if you keep up your great work!
Absolutely! It's one of those things where you can gain a lot without having to take on too much responsibility.
Do it, bro! The experience and connections you’ll make are invaluable. It’ll add a lot to your growth and can open up so many opportunities for you in the future.
Exactly! Plus, the networking opportunities are really worth it, and who knows what doors it could open for you!
