Had a 15-minute interview earlier this week that went well, but I'm confused about how short it was. They had their questions ready and said they're interviewing other people, too. Does a quick interview mean anything, or does it just depend?

That sounds like a screening interview, companies will do fast interviews to winnow people out who are unsuitable. If it seemed to go well that's a good sign. Companies get so many applications that finding out who is really a credible candidate who might be "spam applying" sometimes requires screening that can move like an assembly line.

An interview is usually about assessing your personality more than anything else. You can do that fairly quickly.

The interviewer has more to do with that than anything. I’ve had some that could have probably chatted all day, and others are more to the point.

Just started a new Data Analyst position in which I have constant meetings with senior leadership and executives. I have a bad habit of giving too much background info and not getting straight to the point. I just feel like every little detail is important (even though that’s not always the case). Any tips for breaking this habit or just become more efficient with advising?

I asked for a raise at work and they told me I would have to wait until the new fiscal year (5 months from now) before they could make any adjustments. I provided many reasons to my management as to why I deserve the raise and all the successes I’ve had over the years with this company and management agreed that they were all valid reasons that warrant a raise. Does it make sense to stay and wait it out or should I be looking for a new job because I am being under valued?

I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
