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?
Thoughts??
Also, what do you prefer WFH or WFO?

If you're currently employed, you can take your time to find the right opportunity with the right pay. If you're currently unemployed, take it at least for now.
Good point. I currently need the job due to cuts at the roofing company I’ve been working with in my area. I know that with this new opportunity, the money is a drop off but they are very focused on training the development and understanding of their parts and their clients.
I can’t imagine that the two jobs are that different that you’d need to start at the bottom of the ladder. Sounds like the skills should be transferable and you can learn the specifics on the job. I feel like you could find a better deal but you might get better advice from someone in your field. How much of a pay cut would this be for you and how much do you need the money? Also what’s motivating the switch (is to make more $$$ long term or work in this specific area)?
