any telltale signs of layoffs in tiger?
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?

Thankfully we haven't had any layoffs but we have had two people leave and they were big losses to say the least.

That seems extreme! What led to 5 of them leaving? Or were they all fired?
They all left for another job. Some to competitors and others to the client side.
Surely what do they expect to happen to your workload with 5 people gone? They're going to expect those of you remaining to cover for the rest of your missing team. And its not going to go well.
None that I am aware of that have been laid off but we have had quite a few retire!
