Would it be unreasonable to chase again after a delayed job offer?

So i had an interview 2 weeks ago (on a Wednesday) they said they would let me know early the week after (mon/tues) by thursday i had heard nothing, so just dropped an email to ask if they had an update on the role. They never replied. Yesterday (wednesday the week after my email) they randomly email to say i got the job, great offer too.

I was already feeling unsure about the role after my interview and left with questions i didn’t ask, so i knew i needed to ask. I rang the hiring manager when i saw the email, she didn’t answer.
I then dropped her an email to say thanks so much, i am still interested but have a few questions first if she could give me a call when she gets a chance.

Didn’t hear back from her yesterday, so i thought i would this morning - but i haven’t. So i gave her another call and she didn’t answer.

I get she might be busy, but feel like she could atleast respond to my email?
I have a long-ish notice period so if i do want to take the job would like to get my head sorted and hand my notice in asap.

Would it be unreasonable to email her again tomorrow (on friday) to ask again for a quick chat? I don’t want to come across as needy / pushy because that’s not it, but it is a huge job change for me and does need some thinking about when my questions get answered and ideally would like to hand my notice in on Monday.

I wouldn’t give your notice yet. At least u til you e spoken to them. Do they need to do references and any background checks? I would be put off by the silence you’ve received. Not a great start!

Thanks both, i’ll wait. i certainly won’t be handing my notice in until i have signed a contract but would have just liked to get it in sooner rather than later, also agree it’s not giving a good vibe!!
