Offer letter not in... hmm.

Question

Hi, I've submitted my personal details on 6/5 to the HR. But till now there ain't any replies from HR despite emailing them twice separately and no replies. What could possibly happen? No more offer? Hahhaa. I guess I'll find new job again! hahha

Answer 1

Congrats on receiving your offer!

Sorry to hear about the delay. For major consulting firms (MBB, big 4, well known boutique), it’s almost a guarantee that you’ll receive the offer letter in due time.

I wouldn’t worry too much.

Answer 2

Its about 2 weeks. That is ok. Keep following up every 1-2 weeks. It is probably just HR being busy.

Answer 3

Hey there!

I get how frustrating that silence must be, especially after taking the time to submit everything. But don’t panic just yet, HR teams can be slow, especially if there are internal processes, approvals, or holidays involved. The lack of reply doesn’t necessarily mean the offer is off the table. If you’ve already followed up twice, I’d give it a few more business days and maybe try reaching out via LinkedIn or even calling if you have a contact number. Keep your options open, but don’t assume the worst just yet!

Answer 4

Hi there,

If this is a reputable company, that is probably a busy season. Keep following up with them every week, if you have a personal contact within the company, reach out to them too.

Best,

Answer 5

I'm sorry to hear.

I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes it just takes a while and they might have more urgent things to deal with.

I haven't yet heard of situations of them giving out verbal offers and then just ghosting a candidate.

Best,
