Calling on this who have walked the walk before me
I have a few upcoming job interviews (first one tomorrow) and am wondering if anyone has any insight into typical time between interview/offer/contract?

I interviewed in August/September and was signed before the new year after about a week of negotiations. I was called two days after the interview and given an offer.

The time between interview and offer can vary widely. For one job, I got an offer BEFORE the interview - i.e. "If you basically look normal at the in person interview, the job is yours." (I didn't take that job; usually the only places that do that are really desperate.)

My last job, there was about a week lag between interview and offer.

For my current job, I got the offer as soon as the interview ended.

The time between offer and contract can also vary widely. It usually takes a few weeks, sometimes a few months.

1 to 2 days after the interview. That is the time they need to put the contract together. Good luck!

I got my offer a couple weeks after the interview. Interviewed in Aug, contract signed in Dec.
