I received a verbal offer from JPMC JPMorgan Chase earlier this week, and I haven’t received the written offer yet. It’s been almost 48 hours - they said they’ll just need approval from some people. Should I be worried and hold off sending my two weeks notice? And judging the process, is it worth it to negotiate once I receive the written offer? Curious if anyone had a similar experience.

Actually. Never give notice until after your background check clears.

Yes to holding off on sending notice. Wait until you have it in writing. No, nothing to worry about IMO. Probably just one persons signature holding things up.

It’s not necessarily anything to worry about, but definitely hold off until you have the written offer.

Did you do any negotiation when the verbal offer was extended? Be prepared that if you try negotiating after receiving the written offer it may be another delay because they need to get new approvals

If you prefer to see it all in writing maybe just make that clear up front that you want to see the offer to evaluate it, then it’s not as bad. In my case we were told a number they wanted, gave it to them, they accepted verbally and then asked for more after dragging their feet in reviewing

Ideally you can get all of this out of the way in the verbal offer stage thoubh

Job hunting Rule one: Never send your 2 weeks notice before you get a written offer. Don’t take things for granted as I’ve seen it happened.

All of our offers have to go through an annoying series of approvals with each personal in the approval chain needing to personally go in an click approve. So sometimes offers get stuck with one person. If you had the written offer within 48 hours, I’d say wow that was fast!

Totally get why you might want to see the written offer first before negotiating but it’s mildly annoying for everyone involved when you do that since if we change anything in the letter, it has to be redrafted and sent through approvals again.

Thank you! That’s insightful. And I hear you, I know it’ll delay the process even more. I saw one post about being ghosted after trying to negotiate so I’m honestly worried for both.

Never put in two weeks notice without first signing your new offer letter!
