Senior associate audit > Deloitte Advisory Consultant

I saw someone recently make that same move on LinkedIn. Senior Accountant -> senior in PI @ EY

I’m not sure which subset of PI, but there are certainly accounting advisory positions you could try to get into.

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?
