Have you ever ended an interview during the interview for any reason? I haven't stopped the interview, but I did know halfway through one that I was not taking the job under any circumstances.

I can distinctly remember one interview years ago where it all seemed totally off. I knew about 15 minutes in that I'd never be able to work in the organization, but I also didn't want to get up and leave. It wasn't just that it would have been awkward, the whole place was weirdly entertaining. It was a chaotic scene, not a place you'd want to work, but interesting to witness. Anyway, nothing came of it, which was fine. I assume my lack of enthusiasm was palpable.

I almost did when I was in that same position. The more they talked, the surer I became that it was not a good fit for me. The only thing that kept me in my chair was not wanting to make things awkward.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

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.

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?
