Hey everyone, been seeing some chatter around a potential hiring freeze at Affirm. Doesn't seem like anything official has come out, but the whispers are getting louder. Anyone else hearing this or noticing anything on the ground? My team's been a bit hesitant to backfill some open roles, which is a bit unusual. Wondering if this is widespread or just isolated incidents. Curious to hear what others are seeing or hearing, especially from different departments. Is anyone else's manager being cagey about future headcount? Trying to gauge the temperature here before things potentially get weird.

I've definitely noticed a slowdown in the recruitment process lately. It's not just my department; I've heard from folks in engineering and marketing that roles are taking way longer to get approved, and some positions are just staying open. My manager mentioned budget reviews are happening more frequently, which could be a precursor to something like this. It's making people a bit nervous about job security, even though nothing concrete has been announced. Hoping it's just a standard Q4 planning thing, but the timing feels a bit off.
