What is the expected time from receiving a job offer to starting work?

The usual time from receiving a job offer to starting work ranges from 1 to 4 weeks. This time is needed to complete current obligations, process documents, and prepare for the new position. Interns and juniors often expect a shorter period — about 1-2 weeks, unless there are specific reasons for delay. However, the exact timing depends on the agreement with the employer and your personal circumstances.
