Any senior producer openings?
Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

IMO, the most important things in house are: 1. Total comp; 2. Number of levels between your job and the GC; and 3. Type of work. The big brands tend to be deficient in those things. Total comp is reduced because there is less leverage, there are many levels of lawyers, and the work is narrow. Obviously, there are many exceptions to that generalization.
I agree with this. From an employer’s side, they care if you can do the work and have the right experience and skillset. Sometimes it’s easier to gain skills at a smaller organization because there is a broader scope of work involved and less people to specialize/pigeonhole.

It’s always better than not having it. But there’s a lot more flexibility and mobility in IHC world vs law firms. You can have a great career doing cool work with great comp at a totally random company. In firms, the best work and pay generally go to the top shops.
This is solid advice.

My answer to this type of questions is always: it can’t hurt to get a big name on your resume if you can get it. But if you can’t it won’t necessarily set you back either.
Pro
Do you have an offer at either?

Not really. I started out at "smallish" pubco then went to a F100
Pro
like others have been saying, having it certainly helps but not having it doesn't make you any less desirable. For the next ihc job interview, imo it really comes down to what work/skills the prior job entailed and how those can be used for the next job
Securities work just does not come up that often at FANG; great if you can get it but it may be impractical to hold out for it vs. other F100 roles
