How long does it take to receive final decision after the interview?

Hello chimps. I know it's a bit early in my case, but I've been dying from anxiety lately.

So, I've been interviewing for a Tier 1~2 PE and I haven't heard back in a while. The timeline goes: - Late June - first interview with VP - Early July - model test (2 weeks after the interview) - Mid July - interview with the MD whose im charge of the team (1 week after the model test)

During the first interview they said they're gonna make a decision by end of 3Q, but after the model test they said they'll have a final decision in 3 weeks which is this week. They also said there might be additional interviews with senior managment after the MD interview, but they weren't sure.

I know it varies a lot depending on the firm's internal procedures and how urgently they need the position filled. But is it bad that I'm not receiving any messages after 2 weeks? Should I reach out to their HR? Is there still hope left for me?
