Interviewing with a tech company and recruiter asks are you interviewing anywhere else? Should I be honest and say I am interviewing with Google? (I actually am). Or leave G out of it and just say yes

I think the google flex could help or hurt but it depends on the recruiter. In the end, they will take away no more than 5 things. Interviewing with google could be either a he is too good for us or other great places see their value and he is actively looking so we got a winner - let’s nurture that

Say you are and nothing else. They are asking bc they want to know timeline. How quick they need to be.

When I get asked that, I tell the recruiter/interviewer that I'm actively interviewing but leave competitor names out unless I'm negotiating multiple offers at the offer stage.

Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

Received offer
Base: 185k
Sign on: 40k
RSU: 160k/4 years (Here is where I think it is low)
Location: Cupertino,CA

Current TC
229k

YOE: 3.5 years US / 6.5 overall(similar roles)

I know there's a better way to do this. Any advice will help. TIA!
