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!

Personally, I wouldn't say anything. I think you're right that getting the pay you wanted but with fewer responsibilities is absolutely a win.
My first thought is not to put too much stock in the title, as titles in different organizations can mean different things. If the salary is what you're looking for, it probably makes sense not to rock the boat asking about the title. And until you're in position you can't really be sure what responsibilities may land in your lap anyway.
Congrats. But are you certain it’s less responsibilities though? If it were me, I’d bring it up tactfully on the call to discuss the offer.
The title may be tied to a higher pay scale, offer greater incentive or bonus. It could also put you closer to a promotion or a raise sooner. At least if you leave for another company in the future the senior title could be a bonus for you. Positions at my company are tiered and a higher tier will put you in a higher commission rate, bonus or salary.
Not always. It can work against you. If the company decides to lay off employees because of financial reasons, those in the higher income bracket are often the first to get cut. If you so happen to be one of the ones to get cut, securing another position in this current market is next to impossible given the state of the economy. From my job hunting experience as a senior-level candidate, I am always being met with the: you are overqualified for the role excuse. Mind you that I am applying only for roles that align with my experience based on my previous role. This past June has made it two years into my search.
I’ve never been one to chase a title as I only care about salary, but if in this situation I’d probably ask out of curiosity only
Exactly this. I’ve earned more in Assistant planner than with my Planner job. Apparently the “benefits” are higher though most of them I won’t ever use.
I would reject this offer as it’s a sign of bait and switch
I've seen people get a higher title and get laid off because they don't hit the bar. Especially if the company is trying to raise it. I'd just take it since the pay is within the band, get yourself setup and learn the company and job, then kick ass and get a promotion.
Don't worry about titles. I had a position that was a manager and was elevated to Director with the same responsibilities and pay, simply because all the other direct reports were Directors. After I left, they changed the title to Coordinator and lowered the pay, with the same responsibilities.
title schmitle. Having "manager" in your title is more important, it gives you flexibility to be hired into other industries. Like Steve Miller said, take the money and run.
And learn the difference between "less" and "fewer".
Ask them if the manager title means more responsibilities?

I usually care more about salary than title but if it sounds like something that would bother you I think it’s worth asking the recruiter
ASK - after you accept the offer. Maybe it's an error.
Absolutely, you never know what they have in mind for the future
