Moving to a BB from a regulatory organization. Got a verbal offer 3 weeks ago but waiting on the “final” approval before a written. Exchanged an email with my soon to be boss where they said they’re excited to have me join the team. I am worried about the time taken here. Recruiter said he’s pushing and the manager apologized for the delay. Anyone experience delays between verbal and written offers? Any insight?

I wouldn’t worry. There’s no reason for your soon-to-be boss to lie to you or even reply to your email if they didn’t plan to bring you on board (obv. excluding courtesy/professionalism here).

Chances are your boss is waiting on division-management, and depending on the hire/promo, they may even need approval from the executive office. With everything going on in the markets and the whole GS13 deck making waves, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re stuck fighting a fire somewhere.

Thank you for the insight. It’s probably also cause I had interviewed for an analyst role but they said they’d instead bring me as an associate. Plus working at the regulatory agency doesn’t help with compliance giving a go ahead right away.
But you’re right, could be many other factors involved here.
