Post super day with partners - offer timeline?
How long does it take in an offcycle process post a Superday speaking with partners to hear back if you received an offer or not? Assuming back door checks are happening if taking longer?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, the timeline for hearing back after a Superday can vary depending on the process and firm. In some cases, candidates receive offers the same night or within 24-48 hours, especially if the firm has a streamlined decision-making process. This quick turnaround is often due to immediate feedback sessions between interviewers and HR to rate candidates and finalize decisions.
However, in off-cycle processes, the timeline might extend if additional steps like backdoor reference checks are involved. If it's taking longer, it could indicate that the firm is conducting these checks or waiting to complete other Superdays to compare candidates. In such cases, it’s not uncommon for decisions to take up to a week or more.
If you’re in this situation, it’s advisable to remain patient but proactive. Sending thank-you emails to interviewers and reiterating your interest can help keep you on their radar.

should hear back within 3 days?
1-3 days. Personally, I got the offer roughly 24 hours after, just depends on their schedule.
Ignore title, am an An2. Got an offer at a UMM off-cycle and heard back in less than 24 hours. Will caveat by saying team is very small relative to fund size and my bank has worked a lot with that sponsor, so the reference check time didn't take as long as usual most likely.
If it drags on longer, they’re probably offer-ing a preferred candidate and keeping you warm.
Alternatively, they may just have lacked a key decision maker to make you an offer and/or need you to meet another interviewer.
Sorry to not have more optimistic guidance.
