Process
October 3rd: I submitted my application.
October 6th: I was contacted by my recruiter to set up technical interviews.
October 17th: I tried to interview, but the second interviewer was sick and canceled, and the first interviewer had technical problems.
October 21st: I finally interviewed.
October 24th: I received an offer. Note that this was 1 business day later. I got to skip the hiring committee because I apparently did extraordinarily well in the phone interview.
On average, though, it’s 3 to 4 weeks after your interview before you get a decision, so late November.
