What if you actually pass an interview which you weren’t really interested in to begin with? Decline with some BS excuse?

The amount of deception you’ll have to do is what holds me back from constant “practice” interviewing

“The compensation is not adequate enough to make me want to leave.”

And if they know that not to be the case, the offer is probably good enough to leave for anyway. So in my practicing, I found a new job.

And if the compensation is so high you want to leave, just leave.

Tell them you got another internal role at your company. It's reasonable and totally unverifiable.

I frequently do. I get at least one offer a month.

You don’t need a BS excuse. You can just say you took a higher offer/offer with more vacation.

A lot of these companies aren’t paying competitively anyway, so they are used to people declining.
