Got a verbal offer last week and still haven’t received the written offer. Should I contact HR? I’m losing my mind.

Thanks M1, that puts me more at ease. Probably going to send an email if I don’t hear by Monday.

Was it late last week? Try and give them 3 business days to get you an offer letter. (I worked in HR for a company where recruiters extended a verbal and then have a totally different group generate and sent the letter which takes a a day or two sometimes.)

I got the verbal offer on Tuesday of last week. They said I can expect the offer letter today.

I would follow up with your recruiting / HR contact then. A week feels unusual but maybe it’s unique to the company or a final approver is out of the office. Would be mice if they communicated these things but doesn’t always happen

Check spam? Offers often sent out by an automated service sometimes

Are you applying for PwC? They r usually this slow and literally blows your mind away

This is for D. Still haven’t heard anything. What’s the longest y’all have waited to receive an offer letter?

No. Mine took an outrageous amount of time to get an actual letter out (like 3 weeks)

I just got the written offer from them after waiting around 2-3 weeks too. They’d given me a timeline when I could expect it by. When I didn’t receive it by then, I emailed them. Then they emailed me the offer within the next 1-2 days.

Did they say that it had to go through “approvals”?

Yes exactly that. I wouldn’t worry too much. I would just drop in an email asking is there a timeline I should expect it by because you want to make sure that you don’t miss their email
