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?

Markets been tough for a while now. Fingers crossed for next year, but I don't have much faith in the direction this economy is headed.
Layoffs within Google Legal this week. Lots of other big tech layoffs. Not a good environment to break into in-house unfortunately.
Google has layoffs nearly once a month. Unlike the big layoff in 2023 (12k people?), it’s been small layoffs rolling over different teams. Less likely to cause a news story or major disruption.

Hope so, but I know no one on my team will be leaving rn because bonuses will be going out by year’s end.
I was laid off a month ago (in house employment) and getting a decent number of interviews and finding there are roles.
Second week of January. December is too full of holidays, parties, days off, and ski trips while the kids are out of school, so the hiring team is paralyzed until everyone comes back from vacation and catches up on December backlog.
