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?

The clearest sign is them cutting it shorter, and them showing dissatisfaction in body language and using harsh words in response to your answers. Sometimes they reject you during the interview
If the interviewer starts to seem like they're losing interest. If you're doing well, they're going to be actively engaged and paying attention to everything you say. If you're not, they'll start to zone out and trying to wrap things up as quickly as possible.
If it doesn’t end with next steps are. Think of a first date. If, they are planning the next one before the bill comes. It’s a clear sign. If they just say thank you & exit the meeting. That’s a clear sign as well. Candidates tend to be picked in the first 15 minutes of an interview. Either way. Keep applying.
I've had interviews where it felt like the thing had just gone off the rails. The conversation veered into areas that really didn't matter, and while the banter was pleasant enough it didn't seem to be pertinent. That's when I knew I wasn't getting the job, though the person interviewing me seemed to be enjoying the conversation.
