A job I had in college there were big layoffs. Thing is though, they kept the top 10 people. Being senior doesn't help you at all. Being invaluable on all of your engagements does.

Seniors tend to be in short supply so I would say you are a little more protected. Check your availability lists for your region and sub service line... Which levels have a lot of people on them?

I was just going to say that due to low turnover during staff years, my region is floating in seniors. So, no, it doesn't help you then.

If you've been a senior more than four years cause you don't have your CPA, you'll be on the chopping block for sure

I think directors are most likely to be laid off because the cost twice as much as a senior.

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?
