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?

This thinking is sort of dated. It’s all about weaving a compelling story. As long as your story makes sense it’s fine. No one cares about how much you moved as long as it’s not excessive. They care about what you’ve accomplished and want to know if you can help get what they need done.

Makes me feel a little better about it. I’m thinking about a potential boomerang back to consulting to reset.

You honestly could jump once a year for the first 4-6 jobs before people start thinking you’re a job hopper. Even then, life happens. I literally got laid off from my last job in less than a year.
If a company criticized me for being a job hopper because of that.. I probably wouldn’t want to work with someone who can’t even think clearly.
