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!

Don't stress out too much about it tbh. Consulting hiring process are built in a way to minimize false positives as much as possible, even for the cost of good candidates - in other words, the process is such that it is "better" to reject a good candidate rather than approve a bad candidate.
This is not limited to OW (and to be fair not consulting). Don't make the same mistake I did and start to look down on yourself (but also please don't go to the other extreme and start to blame everyone else)
What would you have done differently?
I thought the first interview went well although I realised later that I didn’t gather insight at the end of the case and my framework wasn’t mece at all. I was really slow at my math so I concentrated on this for the next interview which for me was a total disaster. Very aggressive interviewer, stopped me in the middle of my thoughts all the time, didn’t let me concentrate on the math and at one time she laughed ironically at me because it was an estimation case and I made a really bad assumption. In the end she told me I was too nervous.
Reflect on what you could have improved, but wait a day or 2 to process your frustration so you can see the situation more clearly.
Don’t take it too personally, a lot of firms are drastically slowing or freezing hiring lately. Some benches are way too deep at the moment.
In my experience, if you go through enough case interviews, you’re bound to have an off day / have one be a dumpster fire lol
