The executive recruiter that work with me sent an email that the position (l68/9) is being put on a hold and might be re-open only in July. So the shitstorm is bigger than I expected. TC: None (on a sabatical) Yoe: 16 #microsoft
So unless your offer was rescinded you thought it’s Disney land
Not at all, but was hoping that for leadership role they might be still moving forward. And yes the market is crappy af, I already had 5 roles where I went through the whole loop to learn that the role was either canceled or internally filled.
Yup there’s a tonn of uncertainty until March April
I have some specific questions about cracking these senior roles. Could you pls send a DM to open the line? (Ran out of messages this month)
Happy to, will do so in a bit, just getting into another interview 😄
Thank you so much! Look forward. Good luck with the interview!
They said the same shit to me last may and the org went into hiring freeze in July.
July? God damn.
Same here
Granted it was for UX, we are fewer in the market
Same thing happened to me. Did full interview loops for *2* different partner-level roles. Went all the way up to final rounds with EVP/President level folks and in both cases, the final round "interviews" distinctly felt more like they were in "sell" rather than "evaluate" mode. Then radio silence. And then a few weeks later, the recruiter pings me to tell me that the role has been eliminated. Hope this changes in the new fiscal year - on multiple levels, MSFT is my top target TC: $1M+ YOE: 20+ Current role: FAANG PM
Yup exactly like my experience
We're now at the end of July. Any updates from your recruiter?
