Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

I never negotiate in my first interview. If they ask me in like an initial phone screening what my salary goals are, I'll always go higher end of the range. But I don't negotiate until an offer comes in or a serious conversation later on in interviews
Usually in a recruiter screen you establish if you’re in the realm. If they can’t budge on the top end of what they’re offering I usually don’t bother proceeding. Luckily in nyc we have salary transparency so they have to be upfront with what they’re able to offer in terms of base salary.

Negotiating at the early onset of the interview process is presumptuous and a good way to be disregarded as a viable candidate.
I never do in the first interview … but do check during the recruiter screen that the job is at least ballpark what I’m looking for

Final rounds for sure. By the finals, they know they want you so you have more leverage.
I personally always want to make sure that the salary is in range in the screen/first interview, but I'll wait to hammer out the details until later. I value my time very high and making it to final rounds without talking about compensation is almost always a waste of time.
I tell them my target if they mention salary first, but negotiate towards the very end of all the interviews.
