After 3 rounds of strong interviews, is it ok to call the recruiter (2 days post interviews) to get an update and let them know another firm is moving fast and you are hoping to hear sooner. Recruiter did pick up the phone and spoke to me. Just didn’t want to sound desperate…but my current firm is giving me a bigger role and I didn’t want to sign up and then leave either which I told the recruiter.

Take the new role at your current company, and then pivot if you get a better offer. You owe them nothing but a hard day's work, and all companies are capable of terminating your employment when it suits them. It's not personal, it's business, take all emotion out of the equation.

I was referring to taking the new role at your current company, you dont owe them anything and should accept the promotion as a backup plan. There's nothing wrong with being emotionally invested in the potential of finding a new role outside your current company, and following up shows that you are eagerly awaiting an offer.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
