Received a verbal offer from MSFT couple days ago for a PM role. I started negotiating the salary, but recruiter reached out to me today saying that they're on a hiring freeze. The team is Bing. It's unclear whether I got the verbal offer before the freeze, but recruiter did mention that the team has been trying to get an exception to make the hire. What are the chances of this offer being made or is it dead? #pm
Depends on the org. Only some orgs have hiring freezes right now
Pretty low chances to get it approved
No one knows the process for requesting exceptions yet. Maybe next week. If position was growth, chances bad. If it was to backfill a key role, maybe. Rajesh is going to be tight.
Another hiring freeze? Geez
