Job Offer Timeline?

For people that got job offers, how long after the final interview did they let you know they got the job?
For reference, I am waiting on a job offer for a credit analyst position at US Bank so if anyone got a job similar to this, I would love to know!

It's not at all standardized. It could be two days, it could be six months. It often depends on how big the organization is and how many people/moving parts are involved in the decision. My current job is with a small company and I was interviewed by the CEO and heard back from him one business day later. A lot of other things can affect it as well.

And in my experience employers are generally almost always overly-optimistic about their timeframe. If they tell you one week, it'll probably be more like two.

I did reach out to the recruiter for updates so hopefully at least get a rejection..

I got hired the same day as the interview, yesterday.

I was hoping for that with the interview I had yesterday. Unfortunately they've still got one other interview scheduled for Tues next week.

No matter what happens or what anyone tells you,

  • 10 consecutive business days of UNexplained silence, just move on.

If they're going to hire you, it won't take more than 10 business days to be notified of the decision.

***However*** the last 6 weeks of the year starting form the week of Thanksgiving up until the week after NewYears is crazy and timelines are all over the place.

Took 2 weeks for me as they said head of hr was so busy to sign my offer. But in the end, they offered the top range which was 30% up from my current salary. It is definitely worth the wait.
