Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
IBD role as internship. I was on live deals but I also had marketing work, too. Cross-staffing also possible
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility after week 4. I could feel the expectations rising but that also has to do with your deliverables in the first 4 weeks. The general expectation from an intern is to improve; not to be perfect from day 1.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
4/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I developed a lot of technical skills. The steep learning curve is definitely true. I built my own models by the end of the internship. I also gained soft skills such as effective communication, mediating multiple work streams

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I had a buddy, as well as a case study buddy who were supporting me along the journey. My sub-team, especially the analysts, were also always willing to help whenever I had a question.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
JPM has a very supportive and humble culture in general. All feedbacks are directly made in person so no surprises happen at mid-review sessions (at least for my team). It is not about being perfect, it is about being willing to learn and improve.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend J.P. Morgan to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to J.P. Morgan
Apply early; meet people working at JPM and check other firms as well to see the best fit to your personality. IB is definitely not manageable if you are working with people you dont fit in with. JPM was a great fit for me which is why I had a good experience.
