Hedge Fund offer timeline

When it comes to the large hedge funds (SAC, DE Shaw - - with some dedicated HR staff) could folks post how long it took after final rounds/case study to hear about offers? Did HR contact you or was it a member of the team you interviewed with? Guessing it varies widely but thought I'd ask...thanks guys/gals

I got a call from one of the senior guys who interviewed me. HR called a day later to ask about my decision. Took approximately 1.5 weeks or so.
