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?

One quick way to check: does the wall run perpendicular or parallel to the floor/ceiling joists? If parallel, it isn’t structural. If perpendicular, check if there is a wall / beam below it (basement, crawspace) that would distribute the load to the foundation. If there’s not something below it, then it’s likely not load barring.
Just quick and dirty checks, would definitely get an experienced contractor / engineer to look though.
Hire a structural engineer for an inspection. I don’t know exactly what they do, but in my experience, they usually go up to the attic to check “something”. Then they come back with an answer. So yes there is a way to check but leave it to the professionals 😅😅.

I had to get a ceiling opened, but already owned the property.
