TBWA NY layoffs today.
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?

They are probably scheduling in your exit interview with HR as we speak.

You will be OK and not fired. But talk to your partner or MD about how to rectify. Maybe another meeting with client?

Did the final 3 hours of work & lost sleep change the content of the deck materially? Or could you have gone with where you were at 8pm with a few caveats and done a much better job conveying what actually matters?
Lesson learned I hope.
