  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I had a technical role where I learned a lot about derivatives and currencies which was really great exposure. I also developed a good knowledge around trade life cycles, market making, the accounting for trading and risk reporting. The soft skills were just as important with my role, I was constantly communicating with other team members, technology, front, middle and back office

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • It is a very flat structure at JP Morgan, you can approach anyone at any level for a chat (and you are encouraged to do so). It is also great being part of a big internship program where you can make lots of new friends!

    • The program was extremely well organised from the very first to the very last day. We had many networking sessions, informational talks, social events and training days. Campus recruitment do an amazing job at organizing this program, it's no wonder its so competitive!!
