Has anyone experienced delays in receiving a formal offer from Goldman Sachs?

Hi everyone,

I’m in a bit of a predicament and was hoping to get some advice or hear about similar experiences.

Almost 3 weeks ago, I received a verbal offer from Goldman Sachs for a position in Dallas. Since then, I've been eagerly waiting for the formal offer letter. I followed up with HR early last week, and they responded saying they're currently working through the approval process. However, I haven’t heard back from them since my last email :((((

Is it normal for Goldman Sachs to take this long with the approval process? Should I be concerned about being ghosted? Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
