Thank you!

Hi, 

Congratulations about your McKinsey offer!! ?

In case you're worrying, the verbal offer is binding, it will definitely be followed up with a written one. 

I would recommend you to follow-up with the HR department, since it's already been a week. You've got nothing to lose in doing so, since you've already received the offer.

Good luck and well done!!

Hi there,

Congrats on the offer and joining the firm!

How long it takes depends on the office and quantity of offers.

It can be anywhere from on the same day up to 2 weeks.

I would follow up with HR after 2 weeks. In any case, no worries - you already have been given the offer and the waiting period - while annoying - is purely administrative.

All the best,

Florian

Hi there,

Congratulations on the McKinsey offer! In terms of your question:

Q: How long does it take usually between the verbal and written offers? 

In most cases, you should receive the written offer within 1 to 2 weeks of the verbal one.

All the best for a great start!

Hey there,

This really varies based on administrative capacity and a multiple of other factors (like if there's staffing batching, immigration considerations, etc.)

It can be as fast as a day or two, or as long as 3 weeks or more
