Nothing is a dead end role. Just make moves that help you learn and progress.

Not sure how you’re learning little in audit when you should be overwhelmed with a plethora of info. Unless you have reached the mid to upper levels already

Once you are in industry as an accountant, what’s valuable is if you can streamline ops, reduce cost, manage projects, learn n understand the ins and outs promptly, know the laws/regulations imo.

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?
