Thoughts on PANW's recent hiring freeze rumors?

Been hearing whispers through the grapevine about a hiring freeze across several departments at Palo Alto Networks. It's not official, but several recruiters I've spoken with for roles there have mentioned things have gone quiet. My own team's headcount request for a new engineer was recently put on hold indefinitely. When I brought it up, my manager just said they're "optimizing talent acquisition" and "focusing on critical roles." Doesn't sound great, especially given the company's growth trajectory over the past few years. Is this a sign of belt-tightening? We've seen a lot of new products and acquisitions recently, which usually means more hiring, not less. Wondering if the market is finally catching up, or if there are internal pressures we aren't privy to. Anyone else seeing this firsthand or heard more concrete info? Trying to gauge if this is a temporary pause or a sign of a bigger shift. It's making me reconsider my own future here, honestly. Always liked PANW, but this uncertainty is starting to weigh.
