I’ve received two verbal offers with compensation figures but neither firms have given me them in writing after 2-3 days from the verbal offers. Is that normal?

Yeah it’s holiday season, wouldn’t stress. Also, look on the bright side, the chances of both reneging is slim. Congrats

Thank you. Is it possible they renege or not give a written offer if you never give a verbal acceptance?

It takes a good bit of legwork to get it in writing and firms tend to not do it until you’ve verbally agreed.

Agree with SM1. I’ve been in situations where the recruiter wants a strong likelihood that you will accept before extending an offer. Probably tied to internal recruiting metrics

Normal. As others have said, it takes legwork to get the written out. Sometimes our approval process can take 2-3 days or more if it's a busy period or someone is OOO. Or even, if there is a condition around employment, such as being hired into a sold/funded role vs bench or investment. In that case, it might take a couple days to try and line up the immediate work.

I have had a couple of instances where they don’t give the written offer unless you verbally accept

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
