I had an interview at 1 of the big tech companies via referral (before job was even posted) and not sure how it went. Then I saw the job was posted the next day...am I out of the running?

That’s normal. Tech companies tend to interview multiple folks even if they have a candidate they like. This should not concern you.

if it was posted the next day, then then posting process started days(weeks ?) before you interviewed.

They wanna get as many people to choose from as possible to make sure they have the right person for the role. That could still be you, but they’re being thorough, which is smart in hiring.

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
