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!

Interviewing with Apple next week for the roles of Global Supply Manager (GSM) and Worldwide Procurement Analyst in Austin. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the interview? What kind of questions do they ask?
Also, what’s the compensation like in Austin specifically? I would think the compensation would be different than Cupertino. Anyone have any offers or salaries for these positions in Austin?

It takes up to a month to get resumes reviewed. It takes 24 hrs up to a week to hear feedback on interviews.
Switched companies less than a year ago. I was pretty judgmental of companies that didn’t respond within a week. I was good with it if they told me that it was going to be longer and why (I.e., ‘HR manager on vacation, so you’ll hear from me by x date’). There are lots of jobs out there. Don’t leave qualified candidates in the dark and guessing. I wanted to be wanted. I appreciated that where I accepted an offer was a place where they made the decision about to give me a thumbs up or down, then slotted me into a specific position. Gives me assurance that they’re not necessarily hiring unqualified leaders just because no one else applied for the position. I also appreciated that they were willing to make a decision. Indecisiveness is a red flag for me when considering what company to join.
Pro
Lots of presumptions being made here. Don't blame character ("they're a bad company") for something that may be due to circumstances (leadership changes, decisions by other candidates, fire drills that take precedence over hiring).
The honest feedback most candidates would get from hiring managers mid-process: you're not the best candidate, or even the second best candidate but it seems like you could do the job. The best candidates have competing offers (they always do), so all my bandwidth is going toward navigating that, but if they fall through (they do at least half the time), you might become the top candidate.
I don't want to tell you you're not our favorite, because that's awkward, just like you probably don't want to tell us we're not your favorite. At the end of the day, we'd rather fill the role with a middle-of-the-pack candidate rather than none at all, and you'd rather have some kind of job than none at all, but it doesn't really help either of us to be upfront and say 'you're not my first pick, but you'll do... for now.'
