It’s been within the next day for my last few jobs—including here.

For WK, the recruiter told me it was coming but they had final things to do while some folks were OOO. That was a Friday morning to Monday afternoon turnaround though.

Prior to that, my last interview was a meet and greet with the chief of my discipline. More of a formality once everyone signed off on me, and the written offer arrived the next day.

Longest experience was about three days. Monday interview, Thursday evening verbal—and then an anxiety-inducing week while I waited for the written.

Depends, in my experience—small shops, I’ve always gotten very quick responses and offers. Like 1-2 days turnaround. Less overhead and you’re more likely to be dealing with decision makers.

Bigger agencies (and generally any holding company-affiliated agencies) seem to take longer. Publicis in particular. I’ve had offers come in from a week to 2-3 weeks after final interview.

Best of luck!

Last job kept me waiting for over a month.

I would say a week. However this time of year you’re dealing with ppl taking off the week of thanksgiving. So it can easily be first week of December. I would say my last three roles perm two weeks if it’s freelance a week.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Prior to the interviews, I felt I needed more experience …. Lol. Anyone else felt the same?
