After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

Not hopeful, not pessimistic. I know what my bonus is going to be. It's decent. Not life-changing by any means, but it's extra money that I very much need. If the direct deposit wound up being anything less than what I'm expecting, I'd have my foot out the door immediately. Everything in my offer was spelled out in detail. There is zero reason the actual number should differ from what we agreed upon, and I have no reason to think it will.

Thanks for sharing. Did your offer actually spell out the bonus amount or how it’s calculated? That’s interesting to me, since most companies I’ve worked with or interviewed with keep bonuses pretty vague and tied to a lot of factors outside an individual’s control.
My number was fine, and I have no reason to complain. Some colleagues seem permanently discontented over bonus numbers, but I've never been offended by what I got. Even if that were to happen, I'm not sure that would be enough to push me out the door. And in this job market, that certainly wouldn't be reason enough to jump ship.

That’s a really level-headed take! And agreed that in this market especially, a bonus alone probably isn’t enough to make most people jump ship.
Won’t know until next earnings report next month

Hope you will get great news next month!
My company found reasons not to give everybody the bonuses they deserved this year. Waiting for my bonus and then going to look for a new job.

That’s rough, and I’d be frustrated too! Curious what was their excuses?

Should be on target. I just invest it regardless of the amount so it doesn’t really bother me.
