Had a weekend case study that I completed on Monday, but I still haven't heard back yet. What is the normal turnaround time? Thinking a week max?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the turnaround time after a case study or interview can vary significantly depending on the firm and their recruitment process. For example:
A week is a reasonable timeframe to wait before considering a follow-up. If you haven't heard back by then, it might be worth reaching out politely to inquire about the status of your application.

Depends, was it a 48 hr case study? Usually you hear back quickly but I’ve had occasions where teams were tied up and I didn’t get feedback until 10 days later
72 hours. Oh wow, that's crazy. Did you end up passing?
Yes I did. Think the team was just slammed (it was a small MM PE firm)
