I was really studying hard for this opportunity. But today I got an email from my recruiter about "re-evaluating the business needs for the upcoming year" or hiring freeze in short. Now I am sad, with no more upcoming scheduled interviews. What do you think about how many days this freeze season will last. #microsoft #sde #amazon #google #meta #uber #apple #engineering #software #swe
So you cleared and no offer ?
MS sucks anyway
I had the on-site in the beginning of July and in similar situation like you. I accepted another offer because they couldn’t share anything about expected timeline
They have put all roles on hold. They are starting a new process to prioritize the open roles and only reopen the critical ones. Until that process and review has been completed, no roles are moving forward even backfills. I’m guessing very few people will get hired in this quarter. However, roles that do get opened will fill fast and you know it’ll be very impactful work.
Do you know if any org is still hiring for internal transfers?
Yeah I made it through final interviews and was told my role was put on hold :(
My LinkedIn recruiter said the same.
I guess they give a different run around to Googlers. My LinkedIn recruiter just ghosted me
