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?

Listen to what they say, at some point they will try to talk salary numbers and I would advise to ask their range first rather than giving out a number. If the numbers sound good, you could agree to it otherwise wait for the written offer asking for more time to evaluate the salary.
I just went through the process with D for Manager, and they offered me 185k (current base 166k) verbally and I said I need time to evaluate and think, after written offer I countered at 210 and they eventually settled at 200k base. Took about a week.
Thanks for insights! May I ask which city/area you are out of? Definitely will ask for time to digest and will ask for written offer. How did you know asking for 210 was within a reasonable range to ask for? I don’t really know what good range to expect for a SC role at of DC. They also asked me for my salary expectations at the beg of the process and I said I would like at least X Amount to consider an offer. Hoping to ask for more after but I think they will come in lower
Relax, take what you get if it makes you happy. Have your sights set on two years here and use it as a major stepping stone to get a role you'll love.
Thanks for the advice!
How to react to the call? 😂 Come on.
Congrats on the offer though :)
Haha yes, after being unemployed, it’s hRd not to exert happiness on the phone! But I will remain calm so it doesn’t shoot down negotiation tactics! Thanks!!
Dont agree to anything on the call - just sound excited, say thank you, then say you need to digest and talk it over with family. Then you can mull on what to ask for.
Two days is normal but if they dont ask for a deadline dont give one
Make the call short and sweet.
Listen to the offer. Don’t interrupt the other person on the line. Let them speak and capture the information.
Say you are excited and thankful. That meeting the team was great and that you need to talk with your family.
Ask when you will receive the offer email. You can confirm/negotiate once you get the written terms.
Yeah could totally depend on the recruiter
