What’s the longest you’ve gone without hearing after a successful interview?

Just curious — for those who received offers in previous cycles, did you ever go several hours after an interview without an update? Just trying to figure out if I’m finished for those processes

On cycle, I would expect to hear back very quickly - within a couple hours. 
 

That said, I once got an offer like 2.5-3 weeks after my last interview without any feedback in between. I assume, based on nothing but timeline, that I was the #2 candidate and the first turned them down (or something came up in comp discussions or background check). 
 

It’s not impossible, but 9 times out of 10 if you’re getting the offer you’ll get it very quickly
