Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Days 1 to 3 consisted of workshops on different areas within software engineering, such as agile development, digital payments and test-driven-development. Many talks also took place about different areas of business such as Asset and Wealth Management and how technology is incorporated into these business areas at J.P. Morgan. The final two days consisted of a hackathon called Code for Social Good, where participants created a solution for charities and presented there ideas and technical solution.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Since J.P. Morgan serves so many lines of business, there were many new insights that I gained about the business side of the company. I also met many people who work at the company in different technical roles and was very interested in many of the roles and the work that they do on a day-to-day basis.
