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?

I would say that most financial positions are salary based.
Finance Analyst, accountant, risk analytics, risk, middle office, etc.
Financial advisors seem to be one of the only finance jobs that doesn't have a base. Most front office finance jobs are salaried
How do you define the difference between Base and Salary?
If you're planning on a career change, just do some research on companies you think you'd like to work for and apply for jobs. If you've got some transferable skills it's conceivable you could find something that would get you in the door and pay a salary. Then it's a matter of learning and moving into a role you'd want.
Based on your profile, you aren't qualified to get a role that is commissioned.
Interior Design has almost zero crossover with anything finance. You need to try to find an analyst 1 or analyst trainee position with Goldman, JP or similar.
If you're in the Dallas Area, Fidelity has a big office in Southlake or Trophy Club where they have their phone reps. That is a good place to start.
I have a friend who started there approximately ten years ago, and then took an advisor role at JPMC. He is making ~350/year now.
Try Morgan Stanley, they are usually always hiring.
Your chances of being a stock trader close to zero. Perhaps you could start in a back office role, learn the ropes for few years.
