Was given a verbal offer last Friday for a lateral position, but it’s been a week, and I still haven’t received the offer in writing. Is this normal?

Hang tight lol bro, I'm prepping the offer letter

It can take a while. At some firms, any partner can sign the offer letter. At others, only the head honcho, or the employment lawyer or whatever. Are you using a recruiter? If not, I’d follow up on Monday.

C1, I agree with this. I was told about a week from verbal offer to written offer letter, and it ended up being slightly over 2 weeks. Just because of the number of people needing to approve or weigh in, some of whom were OOTO, traveling, etc. The more senior you are and especially if you've asked for anything unique in your offer letter, it can take time to get the actual doc in writing. Wouldn't worry yet!

I have lateraled twice and in both cases the written offers came a week after verbal offers, so no worries
