Based on previous WSO threads, the response time for offers can vary significantly depending on the firm and the specific process. Here are some insights:

• Quick Responses: Some firms, like DE Shaw, have been known to respond very quickly, sometimes within minutes or hours after the interview.
• Typical Timelines: For other firms, it might take a few days to a week. For example, in the case of PIMCO, candidates received a request for a first-round phone interview within 4 business days after the initial resume screening.
• Extended Timelines: In some cases, firms might take up to 1-2 weeks to make a decision, especially if they are managing multiple candidates and offers.

It's important to stay patient and keep an eye on your email for any updates. If you haven't heard back within a week, it might be reasonable to follow up with the recruiter for a status update.
