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!

It comes with the territory… every job posting I’ve ever seen in finance has the words ‘fast-paced environment’ buried in there somewhere… working in finance is code for making and printing money… it’s not for the faint of heart… this field has the capacity to change lives… and part of that means putting your head down and grinding it out…
You’ll have WLB at some point… alternatively you’ll flame out and make a shift, whether that’s leaving the industry in its entirety, or taking a step back to a support role…
Probably a bit of both - you can learn a lot but if you don’t have strong boundaries you can definitely burn out. In those environments you need to learn to manage up!
To move ahead now you will have to do that. I’m not pretending it’s right, but that is how everything is set up now. You can’t come into a role, coasting by doing the minimum, and still be pushed for promotion at some point.
That is definitely the case. I feel like all of us are experiencing burnout. They will put as many things on you as they can until you break.
