This is MS Uk related: I interviewd for a senior PM position in industry soloutions that concluded positivley in the beginning of december 22, i was told i should wait to receive an offer shortly. Its been almost 2 months now and the internal recruiter says they are still waiting for finance approval for this role, is it normal to be waiting this long or should i assume this position is no longer available?

It also worth noting, MSFT are in the midst of layoffs. The recruiters you are waiting on may well be in scope (or have already been exited.)

If you are happy to wait it out I'd suggest to set up a recurring connect with the hiring manager directly until headcount returns to growth mode. Unless your role is critical to business operation I would brace for quite a long wait, possibly months not weeks.

Sorry probs not the news you want to hear, but wishing you the best with it.

MSFT has a hiring freeze, might be some time but will lift eventually.

ive figured that might be the case, don't know why internal recruiters cant just say that instead of leaving candidates hanging.

Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.
