How long does it take to get an offer package?

Accepted my offer last Friday over the phone. I gave them my address and was told to be expecting an offer package in the mail. It hasn't shown up yet. Any idea as to how long I should wait before I double-check that they have the correct address? I know, pretty basic question, but I just want to make sure I shouldn't have gotten it yet.

This is for a BB S&T role.

Mail? Most banks send everything by email. Wait a few more days.

Depends which last Friday we are talking about. op probably meant Friday the18th if they are asking this. Any person smart enough to get an offer in BB S&T should know that it generally takes more than one day for mail to arrive and it isn't delivered on Sunday. I'd say if you don't get something by the Thursday give HR a call so they can mail out the package Friday if they did indeed forget.

 

relax. you dont need to hear back the same day, or the next. a buddy of mine got an offer about a week after the interview; now granted, he might have been the no. 2 guy and the office was waiting for no. 1 to accept/reject, but this does not change the fact that not hearing a day later is not synonymous with being out and done.

 

Yes, no news means you're still in the game, but to be honest, if you don't hear back by the end of this week, you should mentally move on. Firms have quick turnaround times with people they want. I disagree with Kerchak here. That assessment of your performance or credentials is made by the interviewers that night or the day after at the latest. The only things that can hold the process back are HR being slow to verify you and waiting for someone higher than you on the list to make a decision.

 

Some banks might take one to two weeks as they are still interviewing for other candidates around.

As mentioned by the ppl above, if you haven't heard anything yet, you are still in. Don't stress too much. Think of the worst but hoping for the best...

I agree with the smaller shops taking more time, I was in the process with my current job for almost 2 months before we closed on an offer. Bigger places seem to take about a month depending on urgency.
