The most pushback I had ever received when I tried to set boundaries was when I was trying to backtrack all that I had been doing. Trying to set boundaries after it had been a free for all for so long was very difficult and took a long time before the dust settled over it.

Not really. My managers have been supportive.

I'm having two 2nd-to-last rounds for non-G FAANGs this week, but I haven't heard if/when I am advancing in interviews for 2 different roles at G that I last interviewed or phone screened for 2 weeks ago. Will Google speed up if I tell them I'm in the process with another FAANG? Will it look bad if I tell G I'm advancing elsewhere but don't get the offer elsewhere?
