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?
any telltale signs of layoffs in tiger?

McKinsey & Company Hi everyone. Hope all is well.
Recently took the McKinsey & Company game (not sure if I have an interview yet but preparing nonetheless).

Notice periods are more common in consulting at the more senior levels (SM+) but this is to protect the firm, not the employee and to ensure appropriate transition of client work and tie off of all independence / QRM matters. EU = employee protections. US = employer protections. Very different mindset.
Common for most jobs of any type in the US. Some states have laws against employment at will, but those are exceptions

It is the norm almost everywhere in the US. Union jobs are the most notable exception.
M1- is that a big 4?
M2 - what state is that? May want to check your facts there.
Employment at will in the US depends on your home state, the one you live in primarily or the one upon which your employment is based. With more and more very mobile workers, it is becoming more common for employers to declare the state upon which the laws of employment will be based. That will almost always be a state that has employment at will
