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?
Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

A college classmate of mine has been fired 3x, laid off 1x, and had 6 PIPs. He survived it all and is doing well now.
The fact he blames managers and the economy is symptom in itself.

Go and get a sleep study done. I found out that I have sleep apnea and now that it’s treated I feel much better. Still only sleep 6.5 hrs a night but it’s much higher quality sleep
I want to get fired.
I get hired for these prestigious jobs but my time management skills and inability to handle limited sleep lead me to underperform...
What drives me to take a job for prestige? Chance at learning valuable skills and being boosted career wise. Honestly I was desperate for a job after I was fired from my last one. Bills were piling up and my career was stagnant. Now I feel like it’ll be impossible to find a decent job with having 2 dismissals back to back
It would not be the worst thing in the world to learn that this career is not for you. It's a demanding job that is unfair to work life balance.
@Deloitte 4, is there any way you can DM me? Things haven’t changed in my situation.
Think of all the character you’ll build.
Hang in there. You’ll be OK.
Sorry to hear that man. Not fun, go do something to take your mind off it. It’ll work out
Hope you see a doctor soon, OP. Usually poor sleep stems from underlying medical issues
All content from JP is amazing and can be life altering.
Consider a career in another industry/role

I take trazodone almost every night. I know it’s not healthy and I really wish I could do without, but it’s better than not getting any sleep. Talk to a doctor/psychiatrist
