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!

Thank you!
I'd leave it. There's a good chance it'd show when they run the pre-employment check. Better to own it than get caught lying by omission. If/when it comes up, just keep it brief. Something like "the role ended up being very different from what was described and I didn't want to waste the company's time delaying the inevitable." Most interviewers get it. Just don't trash talk the company and it's no big deal.

Thanks for the suggestion. I almost forgot about the pre employment check process...
A gap would be more of a red flag than leaving a job quickly, especially if you otherwise have no history of short stints. Be honest and concise, it won't be the first time they've heard it.

You think so? I’ve seen people explain it as a career break where they traveled for a few months. I’ve even seen gaps of almost a year framed that way.

As long as it’s not a pattern I think it’s fine

No, it’s just a one-off. I just didn’t want to draw attention to it or have to explain it unnecessarily.
