I had my last interviews with the executive directors of JPM on June 27th. I sent an email after 10 days asking about the next steps. After 3 days, the associate/staffer called to explain that the final say will be communicated by the beginning of next week. As the end of the week is approaching, should I send an email or assume that I didn't get the job?
