JPMorganChase

Investment Banking Analyst Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed my team's willingness to help and provide insight, the company location in NYC, the clients I worked for, and the pay.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been provided a bit more autonomy on certain tasks. Also, the nature of the work requires many hours per week, which I wish could have been a bit less.

Advice

Always be willing to ask for help when you need it. Don't try to complete a task you don't know how to do.

Summer Analyst

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved the friendly faces on my floor and the great analyst to manager match for each intern. I also had great opportunities to have certain ownership over projects that directly impact the leadership team and clients! It was a great experience to help me transition from college to work seamlessly and the experience opened my eyes to a new lifestyle I knew JPMC would help me tackle.

What I wish was different

At first, I wished there was more guidance from the leaders around me. However, this taught me to reach out to learn more than what was given to me with proper time management. I taught myself how to learn the most by asking questions and connecting the dots to different functions of the workplace. It was a great experience to learn on my own than being spoon-fed all the details to each project I took part in.

Advice

One piece of advice would be to learn as much as possible by making lasting impressions and relationships! You will never crack past the surface if you ask the same questions to the same people, but by making mentors and friends who want to learn from you as you can from them. Unexpected news may also come out of no where, so always keep your brand in mind and work hard!

Summer Analyst

June - August 2019 • Newark, DE

What I liked

It placed me outside of my comfort zone. I established valuable connections and met great friends along the way. They frequently had senior speaker chats where we could learn about the day to day roles of people within the firm.

What I wish was different

No major complaints. The only thing I would say is maybe a different role within the firm.

Advice

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. Set the bar high and go accomplish whatever goal you put in place. You will never be successful without growth so don't be afraid to get out there and reach your full potential.

Analyst (Investment Banking)

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I really liked how much hands on experience we were given as interns -- during my summer, I worked on major deals that ended up hitting the front page of the Wall Street Journal. It was a great resume building experience!

What I wish was different

I wish that my team had more on-boarding activities for interns. For the first part of the internship we had to integrate with the team ourselves which I found a bit difficult.

Advice

The 8 weeks of the internship are a sprint -- give it your all (especially at the very beginning) and you will be rewarded with more experience and the ability to work on more complex things.

Software Engineering Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

One of the highlights of this internship was working in NYC. When I visited NYC for the first time, I told my mom that one day I want to work in NYC. It would be so cool. And, here I am. I did it. Besides, I honestly liked the culture and the internship program at JP Morgan. Everyone was so welcoming and wanted to hear what I have to say about what could be done and what how would I do it if I was given an opportunity. I also got to learn a lot about the corporate world, which I had no experience at all.

What I wish was different

I wish my team members were given remote access to our desktops.

Advice

Don't underestimate yourself; you can achieve anything you want! If I were hesitated by the belief of "small fish big pond," I would have missed a great opportunity. I was never looking for any specific industry to work in, but I wanted to part of something big and cutting-edge. So, don't narrow down your goals too quickly. It's time to explore. Also, working at JPMC has been an excellent experience for me, so much better than I ever could have imagined! JPMC is indeed a tech-friendly company and is making significant advancements in doing so (ex: AI/ML, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing).
