Think he/she was sarcastically saying it’ll depend so there is no good answer to your question. Personally, some took 1-2 weeks. I might say 75% i didnt hear back. Will that be different for you? Probably.

Usually a couple days

typically within 3-5 days . i have gotten a response from 50% of them ..within a week..other 50% never reply as they fill up the position internally

I've applied to probably well over 150 positions (probably closer to 200) on LI over the years.

Of those, I never hear anything for probably ~60%.

Of the remainder:
-Probably 60% within a month
-Probably 30% within 2 weeks
-Probably 10% within 1 week

Hey Fishes,

I'm currently working as a financial analyst and looking to switch to strategy & ops roles.

I'm on my notice period and got an offer from a company which is the role I'm looking for. However, they've given only 1 day to respond to the offer. This company is 2nd on my priority list and I got this from a personal connect.

Next week I have an interview with my 1st priority company (but that is interview 1st round).

Is it okay to first accept an offer and then say no & not join?

I currently have 5.5YOE and I got an internal strategy offer at a mid sized tech company. The package is good but my only hesitation is that my immediate boss who will be doing my performance reviews came from a T2 firm with 3YOE and he joined the company not long ago. Trying really hard not to judge the relatively low YOE but I'm a little worried it might hamper my learning and career development experience. Am I overthinking and is my head in the wrong place? Any thoughts?
