Had a couple great interviews and was told I'd hear about next steps last week. How long should I wait to follow up?

I always ask when would be a good time to follow up as some places take longer with vetting candidates.

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.

Do people lie and say they have competing offers when interviewing? I’ve noticed a lot of candidates are saying they have other offers on the table, but this job is their preference. For those that don’t get the job, I’ve looked back at their LinkedIn profiles and it doesn’t appear that they got new roles from these alleged competing offers.
Is this a tactic that candidates are using now to appear more desirable/ create urgency / salary negotiation tactic? Or am I reading too much into it.

Needed this group's feedback on how can I make my M&A resume bullets more action oriented and impactful, rather than stating what I did?

Since, most of my work has been in Diligence and PMO - there is little I can show to quantify the impact made. 

For e.g. "Evaluated Industry X by conducting market sizing, voice of customer analysis....etc" - This just states what I did instead of bringing out the impact. How will you tweak this?

Thank you.

They don’t know how to use the attachment feature on email. They provided it last year why not this year. Happy Friday! I’m going to cry.

Godspeed to the creative team on this business. KFC is the reason this industry is shrinking and creatives are fleeing in droves.

Wieden saw this coming from (many) miles away. Good on them.

There are good clients and great brands out there….just not this one sadly.
