Hi there,

Honestly, we can't say, and there's little value in this answer anyway! (Nothing about this will change your performance or outcome!)

In general, you'll have to wait anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks to hear back. Just like with interviews, please don't read too much into timing. You can get rejected or approved quickly, and you can get rejected or approved after a long wait. There ar ejust too many independent variables here.

Hello!

Unfortunately no, you will need to wait for some days -even a couple of weeks- to hear back from them, both for positive and negative answers.

We keep our fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Clara

Hey there,

Have not heard about any automated trigger here. Be patient and prepare to wait 2 weeks maximum.

Fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Florian

There is definitely no certain thresholds and deadlines for getting feedback and the results from HR. The best way is to be patient. You can wait up to two weeks and then try to contact HR. By that time they will have had the information for you.

Hope you'll get through!
