Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working on a full-stack web app project in a group of 6 interns with a React + Node/Express stack, linking it to the data provided by other backend applications that are already maintained by the wider team we are associated with. Meeting with higher ups in the team and people who use our app to demo it to them and get feedback.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We had a lot of creative freedom over our application and treated as if we were the product owners of the app. We of course had to work towards the business requirements that were given to us, but the implementation details were left open-ended for us to explore.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to J.P. Morgan
Know software engineering concepts well (OOP, testing concepts, data structures). They also have various pre-internship opportunities like spring weeks and hackathons that can give you a small glimpse into how it's like to work here, and potentially the chance to fast track to an internship.
