Yeah, I'd wait it out over the summer if I were you!

I wouldn't take that chance if I were you.

Damn… I start my new job in July 😑.

I was told by a friend who is interviewing that many companies are implementing hiring freezes. She even received an offer and then they told her it is on hold now. Be careful!

Layoffs are happening but not very common. However, this is a hiring freeze in some companies.

Many companies have hiring freezes. It varies by company.

I interviewed with a top big law firm last week for a Senior Project Manager role. I felt fairly good and confident post the interviews. Sadly I was not given the offer.

Prior to the interviews, I felt I needed more experience …. Lol. Anyone else felt the same?

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too.

At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
