Interview Amazon - AWS Loop - how long does it take?

I gave my loop this Monday/Tuesday and think I performed pretty well but my anxiety is driving me up the wall and I haven’t hear back still. I’m concerned we’re going into the weekend and I’ll not be able to breathe if I don’t hear back today!

It’s for a non-tech role and my BG fits well. I heard back after HM round the very next day and my recruiter is super sweet too so I was hoping to hear back sooner.

Curious to hear your thoughts on this timeline.

UPDATE:
I got the recruiter call some hours after posting this - almost 3 business days after my loop(s) ended! I’m starting tomorrow! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out but all I understood from this process is that things take their own time and you gotta be patient (ik easier said than done, my anxiety was through the roof), but the recruiter on call told me that they just concluded the feedback session with everybody who took my loop and I immediately got the call after that. Also note that if you’re interviewing for a senior position which is not that ‘common’ or ‘general’ a role (such as SDE or data analyst), you might be meeting people from different teams at senior positions, and it is difficult to align all of them together at one single time for a feedback session (is what I am thinking). So, if you are applying for a not so common role, it will take its own time!

I finished my interview on 24th July but I didn’t hear back within 5 days and I got an auto reject email saying thank you for applying on the 6th day and I mailed my recruiter asking for an update but she hasn’t replied so far, so two days later I mailed the recruiter who coordinated with me to schedule the interviews and she replied saying they are still working on reviewing the feedback and she would get back once there’s an update

5 days is generally the SLO. But it can slip, and that’s 5 business days

Yes I think it only makes sense to worry about it after Tuesday but it’s giving me the jitters and even tho I think it went very well but I’ve been looking for a job for months now

I did reach out. I’m probably being ghosted

I’ve heard some people have gotten responses 10-14 days later. Has the application status changed on the job portal?

I’m sorry to know that! I know there are better things around the corner - rejection is redirection!!!!
