While I completed the interview rounds with Google last week and am waiting to hear back, I’m also advancing to the final round with Microsoft. Microsoft is known for their quick processes to hire. However, Google is still my top choice so should I email their recruiter for an update and also mention that I’m currently in the final stage with MS?

They won’t care who you mention. Don’t assume anything at Microsoft either. Going to final round doesn’t mean you will get an offer. Wait to get an offer

Be ready to accept the msft offer and quit or renege if Google's offer is good enough.

You need to wait until you have an offer from MS.

I have had several rounds of interviews for a role at Visa London office.

I have another offer and deliberating if i should just accept that.
