Was told I would be receiving an offer letter after having a call this morning with a company I interviewed at but still haven’t received the letter yet. Is it typical to not receive an offer letter immediately after being told I’m being offered the job? If so about how long should I allow to receive it? Only reason I’m wondering is because I’d like to give my current employer plenty of notice before I leave (3 weeks if I can)

Yes - lots of bureaucracy and red tape to go through first. Getting salary approval, etc. But if they already extended a verbal offer I'd rest easy.

If you don’t receive it by Wednesday, I’d follow up. And find out their timeline for a background check. Then you can give your notice once you set a starting date. If you’re planning to take time off in between jobs, it might be hard to give more than two weeks’ notice.

What type of company ?

Hedge fund administrator

I would wait a couple day s and then follow up. Its usually hard to get the letter the same day.

Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?
