Ive been interviewing for jobs, and the internet at my house sometimes cuts out briefly during zoom interviews.

I want to go somewhere where I could rent a space temporarily just to use internet that won’t cut out during an interview. Does anyone have any ideas? I live in the New York area.

D2, maybe this could work. Good idea.

The idea would be for a given day they let me rent the space for a few hours

Hot spot on phone doesn't work?

I did this before corona. I rented a work space at a startup incubator. I’m not sure if the same option exists now, though

What’s the name of the company?

Buy an ethernet cable and plug it directly into your router. Take your call and possibly use a zoom background to look more professional. You can also look into a WiFi mesh like Nest but cabled internet is the cheapest and most reliable way

Damn dude. A1- You really don’t do technology do you? You’re too young to not know this stuff unless you’re a 40 year old analyst

Why not upgrade your internet?

Doesn’t work, have the highest level best package.

If you have the Amex platinum business card they give you a year membership to WeWork Platinum Global Access - so you could just book space at a wework site for your interviews for free.

Otherwise I’d even consider a hotel, they’re not full and rates are cheap. Lobbies have internet and usually there are little areas you find to sit where no one would bother you for a call. Just a couple thoughts

Last hotel I went to the internet cut out all the time when I was on zoom calls for some reason. It was a few months back. Internet was worse than my house:

How long does it take post the technical interview rounds to hear back from the recruiter?

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?
