I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan in Nov 2009
Interview
Surprisingly, the entire process was short and sweet. Phone interview; normal questions about resume and myself. Then week later in-person interview with Manager and employee; again standard questions, nothing hard or really stand-outish. Again... quick and easy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Three positive traits about yourself? Followed by asking for one negative.
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.
