Hi fishes, My interview with Microsoft for SE2 was scheduled and cancelled a day before. Neither I received any email regarding cancellation nor the recruiter informed me. Two days later I got an email saying Microsoft is freezing hiring for certain departments and the recruiter is ghosting me. Will I even get a chance to interview atleast?

It's been a month and I'm still looking.
3-4 months. Jan/Feb is the best hiring season, Nov/Dec is the worst. Most layoffs happen in Nov. 😒
Was laid off week before thanksgiving and started a new job second week in January. I was also actively looking. Didn't necessarily look for what might be the best fit but jumped at the first opportunity on the basis that, if it sucks in 6 months, I'll start the job search anew. Had a couple of other prospects lined up for interviews that I was more interested in but didn't want to risk the job offer and not have any of the prospects work out.
If you got laid off, I hope it wasn't a surprise and you were already looking. Most layoffs are 3/4th quarter when clients run out of money. If you don't have anything to do in September, call everyone you know.
A few weeks but I was actively looking. I think it's also probably easier for Account since our skills are relatively general.
