Q:

How long should I wait for a job contract letter?

I recently had success with a big tech company in NY. I have accepted the offer over the phone after which received the details of salary-benefits, starting date and manager name - all basically the key parts of the contract in an email.
But I haven't received the contract yet and it has been 9 days since they said in an email that I will receive it shortly.
How should I ask them about it?

A:

9 days is long enough, give them a call and politely see if you can find out what is happening.
