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!

If I'm reading this correctly, you were spreading yourself too thin and trying to solve everyone else's problems. You're right, that can feel good but it can also undermine your own work and wellbeing. I was always cautious about that sort of thing because I knew the story about the guy in the canoe. He tries to rescue someone in the water and capsizes his own boat.

Yep, exactly the lesson learned.
Take your power back by not extending help to others especially if it is not your responsibility. Watching them struggle gives me satisfaction and proves my point that I am surrounded by idiots.

This made me chuckle
It’s so hard to go from being the “go-to” person to focusing on your own work. But being the problem solver comes with its own challenges. It might take some time, but the sooner you start stepping back from being the go-to person, the easier it will become.
