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?

Yes
Yes. I can always move when something exciting comes up. And I agree with AD1
I would. Especially if the money is similar; it’s an experience and more of a network along the way
Yes. You can quit in 2 weeks if you get a better gig. Do it with grace and recognize the spot you’ve left them in. But know they’d do it to you if the tables were turned.
I did and even though the job sucked, I don’t regret it
I’ve done this. You might regret it but use it as a stepping stone to meet others and cushion your resume. Unfortunately, we have to be realistic in this economy. And remember you don’t have to stay stuck anywhere forever!
Yes because you can always interview next year! I did that and regretted holding off. Now I’m being realistic and go by who is giving you the opportunity! In this economy it’s also more ppl applying for roles especially if it’s remote.
Probably. Unless it was just truly awful, and even then I’d still do it for the money and actively look when I can.
It’s also a reality sometimes a role you originally interviewed for was put on hold. Usually when that happens everyone is aware of the two weeks notice period.
