I’ve been interviewing with Google for 7-8 weeks. Recruiter let me know they are still working on a decision and, “please let me know an update on your end.” What do you think they mean?

Firms like Google only interview top talent, which is often a hot commodity in the market. So the recruiter will take efforts to rush the regular process and get your application moved up in the queue for review by the hiring committee of you have a competing offer with a deadline. This is done in an effort to not lose a great candidate just because of timelines. Requesting this if you have a legit other offer will not impact their decision. But don't do it just to hurry up and get closure because it's a small world and remember - Google collects data for a living.

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO).

Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
