Experienced hires at M-D level are usually to meet fairly specific market demands (industry x platform). The interview process usually consists of an initial exploratory interview with a recruiter, followed by a few interviews with Directors and Partners that are facing the specific demand.

They will generally be more interested in hearing about the relevant, real world work you have done as opposed to hypothetical cases.

No curve balls, or “gotcha” questions. Your best bet is to show them you are comfortable in your domain and can hit the ground running relatively quickly, with relatively little hand-holding.

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 a company I interviewed with took me to the final round but rejected me for an architect role. Then, two months later the hiring manager hits me up for a manager role he thought I would be a good fit before the job was posted. We had a call and he said he thought I would be a long shot replying back to him. Also, he said everyone liked me and no need to interview. He said he has to post it and let HR do their thing before he can make a final decision. Why post a job if you want me for it?
