What do you tell a recruiter asking about other potential offers/interviews? For context, completed my rounds of interviews with this company and they likely want to know my timeline to provide a decision

Don't name names, but say "I am pursuing opportunities elsewhere, and it would be great if you could provide a decision by date X." With an optional part of saying "I am considering another offer, and although I'd love the opportunity to work for you, I may be off the market if I don't hear back from you with a written offer by date X."

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week.

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

I got invited to a second round interview with a big company. The title sounds more senior than my current title, but the work responsibilities feel like a step down. I am wondering if I should still interview (to see if they will consider me for my desired role instead or at least, get some interview practice for when a better opportunity comes along). Thoughts? Is it ok to reject the offer if they make one, on the grounds of the role not being a good fit for me.
