Hi need referral for few job postings at MS.
Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

Move on
It's a numbers game, you should never put all your eggs in one basket. You don't just move on, you make sure that there other jobs in play that you are trying for. Nobody out there is waiting for one company to make up their mind.
Review their interview process on Glassdoor. If you‘re feeling bold, call them out on LinkedIn. Yes. Ghosting is very common these days, but it is extremely unprofessional and there is zero justification for this kind of behavior, especially from an unknown startup (Remember, it’s a numbers game for them as well!). I am sorry this happened to you (I can empathize as this has happened to me too). Either way, it’s their loss and best to move on. Sounds like you dodged a train wreck of a place to work for! I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your search.

Effort does not equate to getting an offer, not does it entitle you to anything. Your only option is to move on.
They are owed communication with a decision. Ghosting after that much effort is completely unacceptable.
Pro
You have done all that you can do. Move on. There's no one you can appeal to. You just have to the mindset that this is how they do and hope the next place has a better process or hires you.
