Looks like nothing uncensored here...
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?

2 months for me
I’m in Sales and it’s been a 💩 show. Only been looking since March, but it’s feels a lot longer. I’ve gone on multiple interviews only to get ghosted even after 2-3 rounds. The competition is fierce being that even people with jobs are in the mix. It really depends on your geographic location and industry you’re in. Lastly, a lot of the comp plans are being slashed but not the job requirements or responsibilities. Something else to look forward to..Good luck out there!
OP- What’s your background, skill set, and YOE?
I'm on the third month and still looking
