    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • The Early Insight into Technology 2021 provided me with a taste of what to expect pursuing a fintech career in JP Morgan. I took part in several coding challenges, such as programming a sanction screening algorithm and a data query program to find employees who meet specific criteria. I also got the chance to meet some of the J.P. Morgan employees and ask some questions.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I believe I have learned more about tech in the banking sector and what to expect if I work in one of these roles. Additionally, as I'm not a computer science student (I have learned how to program on my self) I got a feel of how to program with tight deadlines.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

    • What really surprised me was the opportunities give to non-computer science students. This is very encouraging as J.P. Morgan looks to train software engineers with diverse backgrounds. There is a wide range of roles, from security to app development or data analysis. It is a great place to start a fintech career If you are still unsure of your career path as a technologist.
