    Overview

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

    • We attended several talks by J.P Morgan employees within the technology division, learning about life and work at J.P Morgan. Took part in activities and workshops to get a flavour of working as a software engineer at J.P Morgan. On the penultimate day of the program, we took part in the Code for Good Hackathon, building an application to tackle the UN sustainable goals.

    • Yes, it was fantastic. It helped to realise the scope and job opportunities available at J.P Morgan. It also made me realise how much potential for growth there is at J.P Morgan and hence definitely a firm that I want to work for. I also found out how important technology is to J.P Morgan - it is actually more driven by technology than finance!
