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?
I am reaching out to you all and am looking forward to break into Investment Banking from Consulting. Applied to Goldman Sachs via a referral but my resume is stuck after HireVue. Talked to the VO who referred me and he said Goldman doesn’t hire in Q4. If that’s true and still need to be in GS, can someone forward my resume directly to the team? Their career portal sucks. TIA Goldman Sachs PS: I promise a dinner in a dance place in NY after I get hired as a sign of my gratitude 🙈

One approach would be to look at the effect they've had on businesses they've touched. One could argue that industries, like American newspapers, as a notable example, have essentially been destroyed by the pernicious behavior of hedge funds. When the economic history of our era is written there's a pretty good chance they'll be portrayed as essentially villainous enterprises.
Hedge funds walk a fine line between stabilizing the market and stirring things up. It’s really both. On the upside, their strategies can fix price gaps and add liquidity where others won’t touch. They also feed off volatility and sometimes even create it. What a lot of people don’t talk about is how their bold moves can influence big institutional investors, which ends up spreading risk across the whole system.
Absolutely, it's a two edged sword. They help markets run more smoothly in some circumstances, but their aggressive actions can also cause rippling effects throughout the system.
