If you mean after the OA, it should be about a day. May not be a good sign if you have not got it after 2-3 days. Nothing guaranteed though of course - just going based on what happened both this year and last year.

it was very long like someone mentioned it was 8 questions but you get unlimited time to prepare for them however im not sure if they track how long you take to answer. Typical interview questions make sure to use the STAR method and do some research on the company before hand.

Best of luck in the process - hopefully you have done well !! I hope u don’t mind me asking. But were there any motivational qns (why LSE) or was it a mix of behavioural and situational. Finally any LSE specific type qns (if so were they not technical). Just keen to gauge a broad steer around areas. I’m busy prepping on a number of fronts so any friendly guidance would be much appreciated- 🙏🏽

Thank you, it was a mix of behavioural and situational, nothing too specific if I remember correctly. Best of luck !!

My friend applied last year and from what I remember it took him something like 3 months to hear back after the video interview. I think he only heard back in January or February if I remember correctly.

Did they proceed to next stage or get rejected?

Rejected unfortunately. I remember seeing the forum for last year's intake back then and it seemed like everyone was waiting for absolutely ages. Maybe this year it will be different.
