Weekend Offer Dillema

So, yesterday I had a superday at a BB IB, and at about 10 minutes to 6, I received a call. For some reason, I didn't see my phone ring, and the VP who called me (one of my interviewers), just left a message saying she had "news." She also left her cellphone number and told me to call. About 20 minutes after she first called, I called her cell and left a message. About an hour later, one of my interviewers responded to my thank you email, saying "Corgrats on your offer."

At least the cat is out of the bag now, but I'm going crazy waiting for the VP to call me back. Given that cellphones are known to be finicky with voicemails, I'm not sure if she got my voicemail, much less that she understood it since I might have been talking too fast for her to understand the callback number I left.

Should I call her back this weekend so that she doesn't think I'm blowing her off, or do I suck it up and wait for her to call me back. If I don't get a call this weekend, should I call her office phone on Monday?

If you already left a message, do not call back this weekend. If you haven't heard anything by 11am Monday, call her office phone and leaver her a quick message.

Sounds like you got the gig, just be patient.

Please give advice on my "dual screen" thread. Wondering how I should go about getting that second screen. Thanks.

 

It's in the bag, you got the offer. Go get hammered and rejoice for the next two years of your life are going to be miserable. Reach out to her Monday late afternoon if you haven't connected at that point. Alternatively, shoot her an email.
