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!

Old habits from uni die hard I guess
You want to sound clear, but not like a robot. I think that prepping too much can risk sounding a bit like a robot.
For sure. Same way it's possible to over study for a test. At a certain point, it stops being productive and can swing counterproductive.

That's the phrase I was looking for! Thanks
You could come across as stale if you are giving rehearsed answers.
Doing a mock interview with a real person with experience in your field is ideal. Are you able to do that?
Pro
That's actually a fantastic idea. I think I should be able to find someone who can help me out with that.

I don’t think prep is bad at all, but over-prepping can make you less natural, at least for me. I usually aim for being prepared, not memorized.
Pro
Great point about seeming less natural.
