I got the call yesterday, Microsoft wants me back as a consultant at way less then they were paying. No thanks FAANG I’ve worked for 2 of you & you suck! I’m done with being a little fish in a big pond where you throw sharks in. I love my midsize firm
& I feel the appreciation.

All these tech companies were simply responding to the Fed signaling that unemployment was the one lever they didn’t control in order to pause their aggressive rate hikes. Now that the Fed has signaled it will not need to “raise” rates for the foreseeable future companies feel they can get back to how it was before the hikes. That said, I would be pissed I was let go arbitrarily to goose market data and I would not return; I would definitely use their offer as leverage in any interviews tho.

I work in big tech. I can say that those who have not been impacted by layoffs personally do know people who were impacted. Everyone is looking for a new firm and Everyone is scared they'll be next.
It's a rough time. Not sure if I could handle being laid off then accepting a job back

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?

My LinkedIn feed was absolutely filled with layoffs today. What happened? A month or two ago it was a candidate’s market and the offers were great but now everything has shifted. I was informed that I am not getting a promotion that I was gunning for, and when I pushed back about being fairly compensated for my work the response about it not being a good time to ask was really ominous. Anyone else feeling bummed?
