What are the best ways to look for jobs?
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?

Recruiter called me to apply. After my application, a day later, my interview was scheduled in 3 months time.
However, I was interviewing with BCG as well so McKinsey expedited the process. Did my first round the week of my application and the final round a week later. Verbal offer came the day after the final round and written offer a few days later.
I had 2.5 YOE, so joining as a SBA.
4 months. Recruiter message 2 months in. Interviews 3.5-4 months in. Offer immediately after final round.
As in, it was ~2mo from submitting your application to the recruiter first contacting you?
