I received a verbal communication of offer before Christmas.
Considering that the Firm would start working in full swing 10Jan onwards, there have been 2 weeks. My recruiter told me that there are some technical issues causing the delay.
My referer was reached out to last week as well.
However, I'm concerned that this has taken too long. Should I be concerned as an international candidate seeking relocation?
EDIT: Received my offer. Folks in the same boat, don't worry:)

Hi there,
First of all, congratulations on the McKinsey offer!
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen
Hi there,
I saw you got your contract - congratulations!
When McKinsey says something, they stick to it - unless it's a deadline ;)
All the best!

Hi there,
No, I wouldn't be concerned.
Some times these things take time. It's highly unlikely for a prestigious firm to revoke an offer they made, so don't worry about it.
Best,
Cristian
Hi there,
You should be just fine! Please stop panicking. Nothing good comes from panicking.
Sit tight and let them reach out to you next.
If 2 weeks goes by then you can reach out again (just checking in)
Hello!
100% no. It will arrive. Congrats, and welcome!
Cheers,
Clara
That means a month has passed by now… you should reach out to them again. Not more than once a week, though.
Hi there,
I would not be concerned at this point. After holidays, it always takes a while until the machine is in full swing.
Cheers,
Florian
Hi Hagen thanks for the insightful response, to add: 1) I did check with my recruiter earlier this week if there is something that I could help with to expedite the process. She said it's all pending on their end. I will still try to explore the nature of technical issue and get a better understanding of the situation. 2) My recruiter told me that the joining date would be somewhere around June, so I believe there is some buffer. 3) It's almost like that I'm ringing bells in an empty room, pretty unsatisfied with the offer letter process! Let's hope it turns out better in the coming time.
