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!

💯 agree with AVP1.
You do your best to prep and communicate before leave - but you are only responsible for what you do before you leave.
I’ve had people outright ignore the packets I created with “If -> Then” scenarios then text and call me. I was only on vacation, you are not off to relax in the sun - you should focus on the new life.
Don’t coddle, trust and give the team a chance to take accountability. And yes, the chair will still be there.
Congratulations!

Awesome. Thanks for the reply!
Let them figure it out. You’ll never get to enjoy this much time off with a baby again, it’s important to focus on your time with them! Work can wait. Just set your team up with a helpful guide and let them figure it out from there

Very true! I feel a little guilty but I guess I’ve earned it right?

I’d enjoy the leave and let the team figure it out. Parental leave exists for a reason. I think it’s fair to help with a clean handoff before you go, but once you’re on leave, you shouldn’t feel guilty for actually taking it.

Good point
No they can figure it out. You have plenty to figure out yourself. Good prep before leave is key so you don’t have to worry about your team. If you got hit by a bus tomorrow they would figure it out. My old boss used to always say “the chair will still be there” the company will still operate without you there, they will be fine.

Thanks for the perspective!
Many firms disconnect you on parental leave ! Impossible to work while out on such leave.

That’s kind of nice actually!
