Hi, I been working for Lloyds Bank for almost 9 years now , I recently attended a interview for Barclays and offered an Senior Business Analyst AVP role in Wealth and private banking area. I did not see much difference in the salary offered and it is pretty much same ie 68.5k.But the difference is current role is London based, however the Barclays one is based in Glasgow where cost of living is less in comparison. I am unable to decide whether to take the offer or not..any suggestions will be helpful pls.
level area manager position at Amazon. I’m working on multiple stories related to the leadership principles. Can anyone provide me some tips regarding the role?
There are 16 leadership principle and I’m thinking of creating some stories around each but the thing that concerns me is what if the questions they ask are related to the same principle and I might have already used up my stories. Something like that. Can anyone please help? Amazon Amazon

A written offer, especially after a verbal one, should not take more than 24 hours (48 max) given that the hiring manager should have already weighed in on you before the offer.
If it has been a week since you talked to them, email and call them to get an update and ETA on it.
Good luck!
I had the same issue during my hiring. Turns out the hiring manager was on vacation for a whole week.
send a follow up email or give the recruiter a call. I had a similiar situation with them. The entire process from interview to offer was slow and uneasy. Nothing I ever experienced with any job.
It’s normal at work. They are slow. I would follow up
Honestly, nothing will make it go faster
Bro, Sis, people busy.
Have other responsibilities than getting you the written offer letter
At Merck, a million people have to approve
Each of them busy
Have other reqs that are also going through issues and delays
So much going on in these companies
I didnt realize it until im out here tryna realize why an interview i wanted scheduled for weeks with a candidate is still not scheduled
People are occupied with other things
You asking will not make it go faster. Unless you have another offer on the table & you tell them
Even then, it still may not help
I had the same experience at another big pharma. Took a week to get written offer after verbal offer.
Maybe this is normal in pharma
Big pharma, big delays 😅
