Google S&O lead interview coming up next week. Recruiter said it’s a mix of problem solving, behavioral, and case questions. Does anyone have any advice for this?

I'm being laid off in a couple months. Should I say I'm being laid off in interviews? Or is that a negative? I get severance if I stay the whole time so ideally I can time it. Have finance degree, CFA charter.

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

If i accept offer letter and then reject the offer of BNY Mellon, will they blacklist me so that I won't be able to interview there again?

I’ve been at my job for a little over 5 months and I’m realizing it’s not really the best fit (mainly the product and culture).

I was really hoping to stick around for at least a year and feel guilty, but not sure it’s worth the overall sacrifice.

The role has a very limited focus, so I really won’t be exposed to much but there is a lot of opportunities to change departments later on. I was planning to be an in-house IP lawyer but not this soon. Should I stay longer in big law or go in-house and grow from there?

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
