Probably pretty chill. Mostly verifying culture fit

Hope so! Mind sharing how yours was ? Or what questions to expect?

Yep - I find the last interview is really just to make sure you aren't a psychopath

What kind of questions are typical for final rounds?

Is this traditional late stage PE? It slightly depends on the stage.

If it is late stage, let me know. Happy to DM my thoughts as I just went through 10-12 of the MD final rounds in the last month or so

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?

Hey, I received a verbal offer from EY for a role as manager, which was quite a low ball offer. I had received another offer from a different firm and I informed EY HR about it. I was told yesterday that they have an updated offer for me, scheduled the call twice with me but didn't actually call and told me she got occupied in other meetings. I have not got a response from her yet on the mails, should I contact the hiring partner directly? other firm is asking me to update as well.
