Haha I don’t know what will happen!

Seems like you made it through layoffs

If you’re a revenue generator (meaning you can make material contributions to the bottom line), you will mostly be safe from a layoff. That typically means sales, product management, corporate finance, accounting, and *some* HR. If you’re overhead, like Marketing, corporate communications, sales support, customer support, etc. - you might be in jeopardy.

Are there layoffs happening in Deloitte USI too? If so, do you know which practices?

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?

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
