I don't think it's the actual article that matters rather more how you articulate your answer to show commercial awareness and industry understanding.

yeah i meant the question is important to application.. not the actual article, think of growth, challenges, changes, regulations or anything interesting etc that is taking place in the world and relate it to jpm..

dilemma, I did markets at a non-bb bank this summer so now, do I apply for markets at BB or something middle office at BB to have a better chance of getting in? Like I feel like my application would be stronger for markets but at the same time its more competitive.. any thoughts?

For markets it is (i think), IBD it's not.

Yeah I agree I dont think IBD is, but I can confirm tech is rolling

No wonder why DB stock is going through the floor, my nan can design a more user friendly online application form

Not rotational, you get hired by a specific desk

that sucks... was it the standard SJT?

Similar - it was tailored to being an analyst at Lazard

Bad luck man. Do you think there was a screening beforehand or did it come through straight away?

I think they screened before SJT (says they do on the website)

Is someone already received the Numerical from Lazard? If yes, how long after you've done the Verbal one. Thks
