So is the offer coming?

So I probably should be more patient but I got a call after my final rounds form the recruiter. She asked if I was interested in the job, said everybody I interviewed with was excited to talk to me, she asked my salary history, start date expectation, relo bonus expectations. She also emailed me aftewards asking for a copy of my passport (I'm an international student) so the immigration team can start taking a look. She said she would circle back with the hiring manager and get back to me sometime in the next few weeks (she was going off on holiday). What are the chances that an offer isn't coming? Should I slow down my job hunt and focus on my final exams?

Is it for full time recruiting? If so I would keep on looking for jobs because 1. the final marks in the final term don't really mean much (assuming you don't fail or get a really bad mark). 2. If you tell them you are going through the process with other banks (assuning you are successful in getting another interview) it'll definitely help you negotiate with this bank. In my personal opinion, no bank will reject you because you are "going through interviews" with other banks (key being you haven't accepted an offer from another bank). So if you are in your final year, and fairly confident you won't fail your exams, I would say time is better optimized towards more job hunting.

If you are not in your final year, then depends on how many more internships you have, obv the more internships you have coming, the more important the marks are...so tricker to say.
