Exactly one month for me (though I was somewhat recruited/referred internally and didn’t apply through a general application collection). I also didn’t take any time off between my prior job and my new job, which was a mistake lol at least take a week!
It’s been one month since I applied to a boutique firm in my city. Two interviews later, still waiting on what appears to be conflicts check to clear. That, or they made an offer to someone else.
Regardless, I’m in limbo, too. It probably doesn’t help that two banks have basically collapsed during my application process.
A lot of internal politics and scheduling from what I was told. Took 2 weeks from submission to get an initial call / screener, another week for first interview, then a few days between the next few. (I suspect they were interviewing someone else after me which is why it took awhile) then supposedly there’s multiple levels of approval within the group. Then tack on offer, conflicts needing to clear, 2 weeks notice at prior job, etc and it took about 3 months total
Five months. Applied mid-August and got interview request quickly, but couldn’t take it until mid-September due to being at trial. Interviews/offer took less than two weeks. Then conflicts took 9-10 weeks because of long processing by new firm and ultimately a need for client waivers. By then, it made sense to take YE bonus and use all vacation at prior firm, giving notice at the end of December. 2-week notice period. 1 week between firms. Mid-Jan start.
3ish months. Submitted via referral mid-Feb. Call w recruiting early March. Round 1 interview mid March, round 2/final interview the week after, offer 3 days after. Gave notice after conflicts and background (do not give notice until it clears) at beginning of April, took two weeks off (highly recommend taking time off). Started end of April.
Application to interview was a few days, interview to offer was another couple of days, and now I've been in conflicts purgatory for over 2 weeks with some bad news likely coming tomorrow regarding a waiver. With 2 weeks notice and 1 or 2 weeks off, this will make it around 5-6 weeks.

2 months from a cold-email application
Should add that it was one month until the offer, two weeks to clear conflicts and two weeks off between jobs
