How long do you typically wait for a job offer or decline after an interview?!

It really depends on what the interviewer says, but most of the time I do end up giving it a little over a week just because people can get busy and the offer may need to get approved by some people before it can get sent to me. The only time I'll reach out sooner is if the interviewer gave me a quicker timeline, if I don't hear from them I'll follow up to see what they're thinking.

The recruiter or hiring manager?

I generally will wait for a week to hear something and if I haven't heard anything then I will follow up. If I still don't hear anything after following up I will usually follow up one more time before I assume that I really just did not get the job.

I was interviewed for a perticular customer, which went well and also received an offer. Few days before of my joining date, i came to know that the technology stack from customer got changed and customer had no requirement for which i was hired. However parent company still hired me and now they're in process of allocating me in some other clients. Sometimes i feel insecure about this situation. How to cope up with such cases?

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?
