Longest wait time for an offer?
What's the longest wait time you've had for an offer at a firm from interview to offer? (FT employment only.) Just curious. Please provide type of firm (i.e., big, medium, small, solo, etc.).

Five months for a lateral offer. They were evaluating whether they had a need and eventually decided that they did.

Re: Longest wait time for an offer?
Five months? Wow. But good for you, just horrible that they made you wait that long. I'm waiting on a lateral position as well, and that's my fear (that it may be months before a decision is made).Anonymous User wrote:Five months for a lateral offer.

Re: Longest wait time for an offer?
I had already accepted another (better) offer at that point, so it was no big deal.

I got an offer almost 9 months after I got rejected. But it was a gov't job where they had one position immediately and hoped to have more in the future. They got more funding unexpectedly and asked if I was still interested.
