Spring Week Review

The experience provided me with a thorough insight into what a career within Investment Banking at JP Morgan entails. It was an action-packed week comprised of divisional presentations, networking opportunities with people representing a wide range of backgrounds and levels of experience, as well as an interactive case study. I will definitively recommend it!

During my time at the company, I had the opportunity to meet various people from different backgrounds. Everyone was nice and happy to answer all the question I had. All the students felt valued by the other students, and also by the members from the company. I felt that people cared about be and were willing to know me.

During the all week we were guided by members of the Human Ressources' division, always happy to help or answer all the questions I could have. During the case study, we received guidance from a mentor that helped us to understand the case. Before the insight, each student received clear guidance by e-mail.

The insight gave me the unique opportunity to develop my soft skills (such as communication, presentation, behavior) and hard skills in finance thanks to the case study. I will definitively use what I learned for the every day life, the Summer's program application, in class activities and for future internships.

The structure of the insight was perfectly clear and well communicated at the beginning of week. The insight was a good mix between: presentations of the different divisions, networking sessions, game, a work on a case study... The structure gave us the right to learn, ask questions, meet people and practice.

I found the atmosphere amazing during the all week. Not only were the people really nice, but also curious and happy to help. Within the other students, the atmosphere was friendly and informal. I built strong relationship with some of them and hope to stay in touch, and even see them again in the future.

The company invested time and ressources to make sure that I received a good training, adapted to the division I would like to work on later. I received training, valuable advice, and even practice in ordre to improve some skills. We had the opportunity to listen to amazing speakers, and learn from their experience.

The different presentations we had and the networking sessions gave me a unique opportunity to discover the day-to-day job of various employees. Thanks to that opportunity, I can easily imagine what it would be to have a full time role within the company. If a have new questions, I can easily contact the people I met for more insight.

The testimony of the different employees and their personal experience helped me to understand why this company is unique. Thanks to some anecdotes I understood perfectly the values of the firm, and the impact in the day-to-day job. Moreover, the conversation with some employees answered all the questions I could have.

Before the insight I thought I knew what I wanted to do as a job. I met lots of people and discovered divisions I never heard about before. Today, I have a clearer view of my future career path, and the job I would like to do. The presentations and discussions were essentials for my future career.

The networking events give us the opportunity to meet employees from various backgrounds, and working in completely different divisions. They were all nice and happy to answer all of my questions.
