I had one job take several years. In fact I don't rightly remember how many years before the interview I had the agent asking me if I was interested, but it was more than 3. Between the interview and starting was just over 12 months.

Interview to Contract Offer / Timeline

For those of you who got a contract in the last 3 months, how much time passed between getting the role description from the agent, the interview(s) and receiving the final contract?
