What is a good option to exit into? I have overall 6 years in consulting (2 yrs as consultant, 2 years as senior consultant, and 2 years as managing consultant) with PMP/PMI-ACP/CSPO/CSM/LSSGB certifications and masters in data science at top 5 school in the world.. Should I be looking for senior manager positions or senior product manager seniors if I want to jump into the next level from my current managing consultant level?

Certifications & Degree alone won’t automatically qualify you for a particular position. Real experience >>>>> all degrees

So based on all criterias I provided still, would it help me make the next step forward to something along the lines of senior manager

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?

I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
