I'm waiting on a written offer after getting a verbal one a little over a week ago. The recruiter mentioned it would be sent over quickly, but I still have nothing. Is it too soon to touch base or should I give it more time?

I would definitely follow up. Usually about a week is a good amount of time to wait. Just let them know you're eager to get started and ask about the status of your offer.

If it has been over a week, I would definitely follow up. Sometimes things get busy and even recruiters let things slip through the cracks. It doesn't hurt to send a little nudge of a reminder.

It’s reasonable to check in if it's been over a week. Send a brief, polite message to the recruiter asking if there’s an update on the written offer and reiterating your excitement about the role.

Recruiters typically benefit from you getting hired so I'd definitely check in with them. They have a stake in this, too. You're making them money if you get the role so it's different than worrying about "bothering" an employer, directly.

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how much it wasn’t about me, how he chose to end it, and that’s what crushed me. Who I thought I knew was wrong. I want to know how close he was to loving me.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!
