Currently interviewing with other firms. The MD of my practice just left and didn’t mention to where in his farewell email. Is it weird to email him and ask where he went so I can interview with them?

Don’t take it to heart if he doesn’t respond - some execs have terms where they can’t hire people from the firm they left from for X amount of time. Many will avoid any form of communication that can be construed as trying to poach

like

I routinely ask folks if they’ve decided what’s next in reply to farewells if I knew them well enough to be comfortable asking. Most will tell you.

Yeah, there are definite anti-poaching agreements at the higher levels. Can’t hurt to ask, but if s/he when direct competitor, don’t be surprised if they can’t help you out

Would be weird if you didn’t ask

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?

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it
