Recruitment process for State after offer

Edit: thanks ya’ll. I can’t reply to posts cause of low karma but appreciate the info!!!!

Hi, I got a verbal offer for a position after several rounds of interviews.

I’ve heard that getting the actual contract takes a long time.

How was your experience? How many weeks/months? Did you quit your current j0b before signing the new contract? Is there a chance they rescind the offer before signing?
