Does anyone have any experience with waiting to hear back after final rounds? How long was the wait? How did it turn out?

Both offers I got, heard back within an hour after the interview that I got it.
bump – anyone have experience with some days of the waiting game?
Very well can depend on the firm. But from my experience, being on the waiting game, especially for a competitive process, can mean that they are waiting on another candidate to sign before sending out rejections. Especially if it's been a few days. However, my current firm only interviewed me (top fund - I networked for an interview) and the waiting game was a few days because they were chasing HR. Never trust HR lmao. Good luck.
My experience was 1 week after final rounds before receiving my offer.
Nice. Trying to hold on to hope here…
This probably isn’t helpful but I’ve seen a wide range. I would say most places try to get back within a day but I’ve also seen people take as long as 2 weeks to a month to get offers.
Very helpful actually. Thanks.
