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).

 

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!
