It’s been less than 24 hours since my final interview, but this wait is killing me. Typical turnaround for an offer is usually 48-72 hours, right? I’m not going to make it.

Not necessarily true. Could take a week, sometimes more. I’m currently in a special hell where I had my final interviews on Friday, was asked for my references on Tuesday, had a meeting with HR to go over benefits today (Wednesday), and won’t get an offer until the hiring manager speaks with my references which may not be finished until next week.

took couple days

Would take a week or so unless it is an urgent hire... DP: I was an internal referral and it still took four biz days

For future commenters: please lie to me and say my assumed timeline is correct

Sounds correct to me

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
