Waiting for a response after 2nd round

I have had 2 rounds with one of the major IB. They loved me after the 1st round, brought me back for 2 round next day. However, it has been almost a week and I have not heard from them after the 2 round. Does it sound like a NO?:-(( How much time do they usually take?

Thanks

This happened to me last year when I interviewed for an SA position. Most of the time they get back to you within a few days, sometimes even the same day, if you are a yes or no, but with people on the fence they can wait longer. Last year I waited a week before calling the BB and then was told I was on hold and that they would get back to me later.

 

You're probably on hold. The turnaround time at banks is usually very, very quick.
