Had an informational interview and they said that they really like me and want to make me a position. How long does that normally take?

^^could be few months. They are calculating how much of you they can afford this year and still make their numbers. So if you make 50k over 26 pay periods, or about 1,900k a check, they figuring out when they can start you. If they only have 10k in remaining in the budget this year, the offer will come in later Nov, enabling them to only pay 10k of your 50k salary this year. Hope that makes sense. Good luck.

Really depends...you should seek clarity directly from the source so you don't waste time interviewing at other places.

Have they made you an offer? Don't count on anything and keep looking.

I'd keep interviewing and check in once a week or so. If you get another offer, tell them, and maybe they'll move faster.

I would just tell them you have another offer on the line and give them a deadline.

Definitely keep interviewing but let them know that you're very interested (assuming you are)

depends on the size of the agency and how many approvals are needed - if there's a holding company involved...

There are a lot of factors, could be fast or very slow, but nothing is sure until you have the official offer... so keep looking for sure

Keep interviewing kid. I once interviewed for a position and it took them 4 months to sort out the finances and get me in. Don't wait on a recruiter to get back to you.
