Bar raisers here with 300+ interviews under my belt...

I'd actually focus on the quality of stories over quantity. it's OK to repeat examples as long as you're taking a new spin to answer the question and the impact is substantial. For mid level roles, most people have 6 solid examples with data to support.

To prep, take the STAR methodology seriously. Write down your stories in that format and rehearse saying them. A common thing I hear in debrief is that interviewers didn't understand the impact. Negate that by clearly stating you goal vs impact: "my goal was X. I delivered X and Y within time frame which lead to Z% cost/time/quality increase"

Be prepared with lessons learned for every story. The most common follow up questioning you'll get is "what was your greatest lessons learned?" Or "next time, what would you do differently?" Amazon has a fail fast culture. You want to say what you learned from the situation and how that learning has shaped how you currently work. Something like: "I learned X. I was able to apply this learning to similar situations. For example, Y"

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.

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
