The worst part of work

Best way to get a consulting job in the U.S?
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!

Do you add periods at the end of bullet points?
Anyone familiar with the areas of McKinsey that do work on nonprofit/refugee work? What qualifications are needed? I’ve done pro bono related work at Deloitte,not sure how to do that full time.

Feels top heavy. Only time I’ve experienced this is if we have a big client that’s at risk.
At Accenture, this is normal for assessment type projects where the goal is to convince client to buy a lot more work. Usually we invest to get more senior people there to build relationships.

That’s a great idea in theory, but in practice when I’ve asked, I’ve been asked to handle the entire assessment execution, lead all client meetings, and manage the delivery work myself. They won’t reduce their hours or add staff under me, which is the only way I could step up without carrying a 100+ hour week workload. The Senior Manager and Manager are intent on keeping hours on the engagement, and they won’t share broader client context because asking big‑picture or “why” questions is treated as questioning authority or being difficult. My Manager has also said they need to prove their value creation…
The more I type the more I realize I need to find a different team.

The levels are not equivalent across firms. At my firm, SMs are essentially the engagement leaders and juggle multiple engagements. We typically eat hours for the sake of margin, even though it negatively impacts our utilization.
Clients don’t want to pay high rates, so even though you may see senior leadership, they may not bill.

Sounds like Deloitte

Yeah, that's kinda the opposite of the traditional leverage model. I can see a full time manager if you have a few compatriots at your level that need tending, but a full time senior manager is kinda bizarre on all but the largest long running projects.
My projects with really heavy manager involvement have a maximum of 40% of the total project hours allocated to manger+ and 60% to the consultant/senior consultant levels.
