How long does it typically take for banks to get back with offer decisions? My friend recently went through an early interview process with a BB, and he has not heard back. I heard that if they want the candidate, they will typically get back to him the day of or the day after - especially with early interviews that tend to want to finalize the process more quickly.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

It depends on the bank. Some banks (usually smaller boutiques) might get back to you in a couple days, but normally I'd expect to wait 7-14 days to hear back. In some cases it may be longer, but if you haven't heard in two weeks from your final interview, I'd follow up with an email and/or phone call.
