Hi there,
Sometimes it can take as little as a week, but I've seen multiple months happen as well!
If you can, try and be patient. If you don't hear anything back in about a month, feel free to politely reach out for an update.

Hi there,
From my personal experience I waited more than one month (around 5 weeks). I suggest you to do a follow up after this time.

Hey there,
Currently, we are seeing quite high demand across all regions so it could be anywhere from a few days to 1-2 weeks (the standard), but also up to 1-2 months depending on the office.
I'd follow up around the 2-week mark.
Cheers,
Florian

How much does the interviewer prompt you in an interviewer led case interview? After doing your structure is it pretty much just answering their questions?
