Longest you ever waited for an offer letter? I’ve met with a total of 5 people including the partner in charge and accepted the verbal. It’s been a little over two weeks since hearing back. They touched base with me a couple times saying it needs approval but starting to lose hope.

Once KPMG called me w/ my offer in advisory, I still had to wait like 3 weeks for the official offer letter, and emailed back following up about it. I wouldn’t stress yet. That was after they said they were 100p giving me an offer.

Not me but my friend that applied for Deloitte advisory as experienced hire waited 2 months ..I interviewed 1.5 months later and got my offer within 2 weeks; turns out the process stalled on Talent’s end which could’ve been prevented. my friend got offered a better position in industry and hasn’t looked back

That gives me piece of mind. And right now I’m sure there’s some challenges with firms and hiring freezes.

Keep faith. It is amazing how bad so many companies / firms are at the recruitment process.

I really hope so. I don’t feel like they would give me a verbal with the intent to lead me astray, but it makes me so anxious waiting.

Offer approvals get extra scrutiny in this climate. Firms still hiring are hiring less so there is greater care in making sure the right candidate is selected. Unusual circumstances may also be a factor eg waiting out an (unannounced) hiring freeze due to end, or one being imposed in the middle of the hiring process. Not what you'll want to read but the recent surge is making some firms change plans they had finalized only a few weeks ago.

10 months for me, so hang in there. Sometimes the business case requires some things to align before they pull the trigger.
