quite a few shops are hiring rn. i’ve been told google plans on easing up on hiring over the rest of 2020, but it wasn’t described to me as a freeze. there are a bunch of startups that managed to close funding before this broke open, they’ve been hiring as well if thats your thing

Google wouldn’t describe it as a freeze. “Pause”, “slow down”, “recalibration” are all great euphemisms because unless you are super hard up on cash you are going to have critical roles to fill or backfill and the PR hit on a “freeze” is and unforced error.
