If they wanted/needed you they'd hire you. Sounds like they're calling dibs

Could be! even though I fully trust the guy who wants to bring me there. if this was the case he would have told me. Anyway thanks for your reply.

For a lot of companies, hiring freezes come in last 1/4 of the year to make the books look better in the final submission. However, you can usually issue a contract with a Jan start date

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
