I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (London, England) in Jan 2016
Interview
Processed quite fast initially, got into 2nd interview and the next day got a call from the program leader and was told that I am in the list of selected candidates. However, things changed totally after my application was left for HR department, which should have helped me get through all the visa and regulatory issues as I have got an oral offer from the program leader. The HR department is very unhelpful and took months to process my application. As I would need tier 2 working visa and I hadn't finished my master's degree at that time, the HR eventually said they are sorry but before I get the degree they're unable to process my application. The whole process is extremely inefficient and wasted a lot of time of mine. I sincerely suggest JPM to improve their recruitment process to avoid the same thing happening again in others' cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing too technical, just take it easy and show them your willingness to learn and work for them. It was a pleasant interview experience.
Campus interview - asked questions about interest in following market trends, ran through case studies of a couple companies in a sector, discussed impact of geopolitical events to businesses, and some basic accounting questions. Then discussed long term goals and reason for interest in the space.
Asked abt markets. Hobbies. Rates. Asset allocation. Background, why I want the job, why JPMorgan, time when I faced difficult decision, typical behavioral questions not anything super crazy outlandish. Good luck
The interview process was excellent and highly professional. They focused entirely on relevant, market-specific questions that perfectly aligned with current industry standards. This allowed me to thoroughly discuss my background and demonstrate how my specific work experience directly relates to the role. Overall, it was a comprehensive and well-structured conversation that gave me a great opportunity to showcase my expertise and professional value.
