Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Two-day programme held virtually over Zoom. Listened to talks from J.P. Morgan employees on the culture, as well as specific sessions on Equity Capital Markets and Debt Capital Markets, as well as Investment Banking Coverage. Had the opportunity to network directly with analysts, associates, VPs, EDs and MDs. There were also opportunities for Q&A throughout.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There was a significant amount of information given about the roles available within the Investment Banking Division, covering a range of areas from ECM, DCM, EMEA Coverage, UK M&A and so on. The presentations were incredibly detailed and gave me a solid understanding of the material. There was also the opportunity to ask questions and learn even more in that way.
