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?

So many variables. So hard to say.
If your transfer got approved, this means that you either have pretty strong reviews or they office has a big need but either way I wouldn’t worry about getting cut. EY has made clear that they’re not laying people off. They actually did a nice thing and froze all performance based firings until July so as not to throw people out on the street at a time when it’s likely impossible to find another job. Post June they’re just looking to begin the same process.
Also, I transferred last year. It’ll take a while to get your schedule settled in your new location. Don’t sweat your ARMS not bring updated.
Also, on the rent/buy - whats the location? I think the local market will impact this decision both because of EY’s reopening plan and the how the housing market looks there. I’d suggest you hold off as much as possible before making this decision
September is still 4 months away. Likely the local scheduler doesn’t even know you’re coming yet.
