Wait until Monday evening. If you haven't received decision by Monday evening, ask your attorney to contact USCIS. By the way, Are you FTE or EVC?

was that role change? What is your previous role vs current petition? They seems to put lot of speciality occupation RFE for the employee for role change. I am on the same boat as you are, waiting for decision though

Yes its change in Job title. I was in Programmer Analyst before and moving into Data scientist role but have few common role between old and new not sure what the RFE is about still waiting for paper document from USCIS. I got full time for a company where I was working as consultant before. All the best for you too.
