Was it for SA or FT? Did you accept? Just curious about people's experiences. My friend told me she got a BB FT offer for IB a month or two into Spring. Is that common?

I'm just finishing up a lengthy job search. I can tell you that you should be very cautious before you join a firm that takes a long time to make a decision. If a firm drags out the process then that should give you some insight into their operations as a company and ultimately be a big red flag.
I recently signed an offer letter with a BB and the process was about one month total from initial contact to an offer, that should be a reasonable standard for any company to meet (at least the ones you want to work for).
Haha it's funny you mention that. Both places I'm waiting to hear a response from BB's and its been a little under 2 months. Can't be a good sign either way. But congrats on your offer!
6-8 weeks might not be wholly unreasonable depending on the position. So I wouldn't worry just yet. 8+ weeks would definitely be a cause for concern, don't work for a company that takes that long to decide. Good luck!
Received 3 offers, 2 EB/ 1 MF PE, the longest one took 6 days the shortest one took 6 hours lol
