Process between verbal and written offer

Hi.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'm hoping you'll be able to help calm my nerves while I patiently wait...

what is the process followed by McKinsey between a verbal offer and following up with a written offer/contract?

i was made an offer by a partner last week, followed by a call with the recruiter soon after to confirm the date. I haven't heard back since. I'm wondering what could be happening in the background that's taking so long? I would assume everything is a template that just needs to be signed and emailed to me?

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations! Now's the moment to feel good, not stress again :)

Don't worry! The formal written offer is coming! I have never ever heard of a verbal offer getting reneged....you are safe!

Just remember, they have to figure out a whole heap of things: background check, starting date/cohort, location, salary/bonus, etc. etc.

Relax and enjoy this time off!

Just relax and be patient. You had the call with rectuiter/HR and they will do what they need to do. Many things could be holding up in the backend and no point speculating. If there is a problem, they will give you a call. If you dont back anything for 2 weeks give them a nudge.

Enjoy the offer for now. All the best and congrats.

Hey there,

1. Congrats!

2. Stop worrying! :-)

The McKinsey hiring machine is running at full speed at the moment and you should receive your written offer shortly. Trust me, once they find someone who is suitable and willing to work for them,they won't let go easily...

All the best!

Hi there,

Congratulations on the offer!

Agree with Adi and Ian, you don’t have to worry – whatever the reason if they confirmed the offer you are going to receive it.

Best,

Francesco

Hello!

Congratulations! Stress time is over, now is time to enjoy!

It depends a bit on the office and cycle, but don´t worry, it´s gonna be there soon. If you haven´t heard anything in 10 days from the partner office I would kindly follow up with HR

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Congrats! But chill. They'll get back to you. If they haven't contacted you within a week, you can give HR a call.

Hi,

Would you mind if I ask how long have you waited for the written offer letter? I'm in the same situation and I've been waited for a week since the partner called me with an offer…
