Hi , I have got a verbal offer from one of the big 4 firms just over two weeks ago.
I am still to get a formal offer, is this normal, do the big 4 firms take their time ?

I contacted the recruiter and he said that it is being approved by the talent partner ? Is this normal for such a delay ?

They said I was the preferred candidate over two weeks ago and the recruiter said a formal offer would follow but nothing since. What are your thoughts ? Does it normally take this long. The silence is deafening or am I over thinking ?

Honestly I don’t think two weeks is “very” long, but I would follow up and just touch base with the recruiter

Yeah it can take a little while depending on what’s going on. Don’t let that worry you too much, just send the recruiter an email. I’m wondering if they gave you a verbal start date? If so, leverage that in your email 🤷🏻‍♂️

I spoke to the recuiter there and he outlined that it is with the talent partner to approve …. that it has been signed off by the business. Is this normal that it takes so long with the talent partner ?? Should I be worried?

I am not aware of the process with the big 4. Thanks

Yeah it’s a little strange, but I know Partners who move slow so it’s not completely unreasonable.

The moves up to you to force a formal offer, tell them you need something formal or will have to accept other offers
