Does anyone know how long is the hiring freeze at PayPal going to last? A role I was interviewing for got impacted due to the freeze and I am trying to understand if I should wait or just go ahead with the other offers I have. Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Happened with me too. What role were you interviewing for ?
Yes, what role and location? I must've just missed the freeze. Got an offer just a little over 3 weeks ago in San Jose for an Engineer position
This was a PM role
Same. I interviewed for a similar role a few years ago and the exact same thing happened. That time it went from Nov - May. They contacted me when it was lifted but I took a promo shortly before so I told them no thanks.
Did you ask the recruiter?
Go ahead with other offers. The freeze is at least till end of the year.
Are u the recruiter or the HM ?
Neither. The freeze is made known to all employees.
Go with other offers
The hiring freeze will probably be there till end of the year
It's gonna be there until this year end for sure
For those of you at PayPal, is this something to be worried about?
Yes. My team formation had stopped. We desperately need to hire people but couldn't.
How about in regards to your job?
There is a freeze for already existing roles. It’s only for new requirements. I guess the recruiter is giving BS
Until summer! 🤣
