    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I enjoyed my job, my manager was very supportive and positive and gave early responsibility of running my own project over the summer that actually impacted the division and not put in a drawer. I was asked to reach out to clients on the second day in the office, and was allowed to work independently over the whole 10 weeks with support given when asked for. It provided a good understanding of the division, and I was given tasks and project that gave insights in most of the processes conducted in this division of the bank.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given three interlinked project to be ran on an independent, but also collaborative basis. One project to reach out to clients and claim or pay funds outstanding, one on reviewing the related process, and a last global across various JPM locations. The first two I ran the projects in liaison with related teams and managers, and the last was conducted in a team together with fellow interns in the UK and US.
