Joined industry 2 months back but now the group is undergoing restructure and my role is no longer needed: so I was given the choice of staying in the company for 3 more months and look for a new position internally or take severance. Will this short tenure be a legit reason to tell recruiter? Or the question is: should I even be honest in the 1st place?

Be honest - market is hot so hopefully you should not have a hard time finding another job, if you want to venture out.

Sounds legit and not related to you specifically. You got screwed. Be honest.

If the reorg is public info, then share it. But it will reduce your negotiating power because you will be unemployed or facing unemployment. I would probably stay there for 3 months to be recruiting while employed, avoid a resume gap and keep building yoe (on paper).

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
