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!

Generally important. I would say job searching is probably the one time where you shouldn't necessarily make a point to. Yes, that might mean you end up taking an opportunity that doesn't align with your goals, but if you're unemployed, that's still the right play.

Yeah, that’s a really fair point. When you need a job, sometimes saying yes is just the realistic choice, even if it’s not ideal.
It's obviously important to know when to say no, but you're also going to be considering your situation at the time. If you're unemployed and money is tight, a job that's less than optimal can be attractive enough to warrant an affirmative answer. It's great to be choosy and confident, but in this job market that may not be a realistic option.

I agree. Context does matter a lot here, and sometimes survival mode has to come before being selective unfortunately...

Absolutely. Especially early in careers.
Make sure you're getting what you want.
