Had several interviews with a place including the “final round”. Just wondering how long it usually is to get an offer? It’s been a few days plus the weekend so just curious if there is a general rule?

just updating i was offered the job :)

uplifting

thanks!!

Depends on the place and their process to get people “approved” for an offer. I’ve been in a situation where HR holds a mass “hiring candidate approval meeting” once every 2 weeks, so if your “final” interview was the day after that happened, you had to wait 2 weeks for the next meeting. Each company is different.

thanks!

It's only Monday. I would usually give it a full 7 business days before reaching out again to follow up.

i had my final interview middle of last week so its been a few days but yeah i will

Is it a startup or traditional corporate company? Usually I give it a full 5-7 business days before reaching out but if it's a startup, I give them closer to the 7 business day mark

Not a start up, it’s a big agency

final round, couple of hours after the interview

i always thought the final round was a formality, hang in there!! they liked you enough to bring you this far

Do you think they would just wait on it knowing they were going to offer and not respond until they have a formal offer? Is that a thing that is done? Every step i’ve gotten good feedback so idk.

There could be a scenario where it’s between you and another candidate, and they like the other candidate slightly better, so they made that candidate an offer and you are the “backup”. If that candidate takes a few days to think over the offer, or tries to negotiate, they might not respond to you until they have a firm yes or no from that candidate. If yes, then tell you it’s filled. If no, then offer to you and blame “internal delays” or something like that.

The other option is that they just can’t get people to give a final answer, either from indecisiveness or from lack of availability on a calendar. In that case, it could just take a few days to get people to actually commit to you due to agency inefficiencies.

I’d say both situations are equally as possible.

Has it been up to a week already?

I'd still wait it out a bit, they could still be finalizing their options or deciding if you are the best candidate. Best of luck to you! I hope you get the offer.

I always follow up if I don't hear back in a week. But I once waited 3 months for an offer. It really depends on how quickly they are working to fill the spot
