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?

Can you start putting out feelers now? Networking can feel daunting but you can start slow by joining online communities and start engaging with other people. That way if a layoff happens, you've laid the groundwork.
That's frustrating. It definitely takes time and investment. That's one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of networking in general, even if it is a necessary evil sometimes.
I’ve been laid off in industry. It feels like the end of the world. It’s not. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it happens , and people (believe it or not) want to help. Looking back it got me out of a toxic environment at a struggling large bank and moved my career onwards once I found something.
Control what you can control. Start networking and looking now.
