Lateral interview turnaround time?

Has anyone done the lateral process before and can comment on how many days to wait after the final round / how long it took? I would imagine that it's slower than the superday process for SA / first years. For context, had ~5 interviews that I thought went very well and haven't heard back for about a week. Don't think they're interviewing many others since it's a pretty casual process.

I sent in my application on October 29th. Got an email back on November 23rd saying they were interested and wanted me to complete some online questionnaire form. Finally got an email from an HR person on January 24th. Had my first round interview on January 27th which was an hour with 3 interviewers. Heard back on February 2nd that they wanted me to have a second round interview. Did the second interview on Feb 7th and it was 30 minutes with 2 interviewers. Heard back the next morning that they wanted me to have another call with someone so I did over the phone on Feb 8th. Heard back the next day that they wanted me to have a call with the head of the group, so that was a 30 minute call on Feb 10th. Got a call on Feb 14th giving me the verbal offer and I got the official letter on Feb 17th. My start date is now March 21st. 

 

Highly dependent on firm and surprisingly not even major differences solely based off of size. Some of the BBs are well oiled machines which crank through the process. For the small nimble nature of many boutiques, many rely on internal Hr teams which are already staffed on other workstreams and are very slow at responding. I know this is really a non answer but my best advice is to build some close/trusted connections at each firm and follow up with them if the process stalls.
