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'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

It's because of mass layoffs due to "restructuring" budgets for AI. They're laying people off by the thousands so they can double-down on AI investments. That's why tech people can't find jobs, the supply far exceeds the demand.
To add insult to injury, they're backfilling some roles with cheap offshore Indian labor.
It's disingenuous to blame this on indian developers. It has nothing to do with India or Indians. This is greed of American CEOs which is responsible for these losses. Also indian developers I know are not cheap. They are top paid developers at every tier.
The jobs are out there, especially in the last couple months. There is a lot of downward salary pressure though.
Hiring slowdowns, increased competition, higher expectations from employers, and the growing use of automation throughout the recruitment process are all contributing to the situation. Rather than replacing developers entirely, AI seems to be shifting demand toward professionals who can effectively work alongside these tools and solve complex business problems. For those exploring alternative opportunities, freelance platforms and talent networks such as https://www.pakistanjobs.pk/freelancers.php also highlight how developers are adapting by diversifying their work beyond traditional full-time roles.
