What’s the typical process to move from a verbal offer to written offer? Do you typically need to tell the recruiter you’ve decided to accept their verbal offer before they send you a written offer to review? Also is there a standard timeline to make a decision (interviewing with other firms too, so timing is tricky bc would like to finish those processes before making a decision)

There is no offer until you see the contract. Verbal offers are an absolute non-guarantee. I would reach out and ask when you will get to review the actual offer. You do not and should not accept verbally beforehand, you don’t even know what you’re verbally accepting!

This is what I suspected—is it typical to have to ask for the written offer? Or should I be patient and wait a few days before asking?

No offer is an offer till you get it in writing. If you have to make a choice and things are still in limbo, tell them that you are pursuing other options and need to take a decision in a definite timeline. If they are serious about you, they will close the cycle. I had the same situation and was able to get a written offer soon as I told them tgg Bg st I was exploring options. Good luck!

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
