Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight program revolved around shuffling between the departments of the JP Morgan's London branch. We heard from analysts, associates, senior members of different division from asset and wealth management to investment banking and markets and got plenty of opportunities to network as well. After a general overview of the divisions we would then be divided into breakout rooms to practice real-life cases and get an insight into what their daily tasks looked like.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really illuminating because I besides commercial banking and to some degree markets I didn't know much about the actual functions and resource division in a global bank such as JP Morgan. I found it extremely exciting to delve into the potential roles and actually had some sense of which divisions suited my competencies.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I have developed several of my skills and I think most prominent of them all would be communication. Through a session with DebateMate we learnt how to effectively communicate online which I believe was a great seminar to start the program with. Besides that I also practiced and developed my analytical skills through the different cases which also taught me how to approach such scenarios in real life.
