Varies wildly from firm to firm, especially these days. Pre-rona, I saw anywhere from a couple of weeks to 3+ months. These days? Who knows!

Varies dramatically. I applied to a small firm in November, 2014. Had interviews in December but wound up accepting another offer from a tech company before the consulting firm was ready to make an offer.

Got recruited to that same firm later in the year. First contact from recruiter was mid-November; offer accepted mid December, start date Jan 1.

Current job, I got recruited to a big pharma consulting/tech company; first contact in October, 2017. Interview mid Jan of 2018, offer came last week of March. Start date mid April

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?
