I went today, and it was really informative! They give you an insight into investment banking, then take you on a tour of the trading floor. Its how you imagine it to be, a massive glass building, with bodyguards and glass security doors. Theres a guy on the trading floor with 8 flashing computer screens and shouting down the phone. But there was also a good networking session and you get to tlak to current interns there as well

It might just be me, but how are you actually meant to network when there's 10+ other people trying to do the same thing at the same time? Surely they are not going to distribute their contacts to all the people, right?

Did either of you manage to get any contact info? What else did the day consist of?
I'm going to the RBS insight day tomorrow, I was just wondering, did everyone dress smartly? As in business clothes?

I think someone turned up in jeans yesterday, although excluding him, everyone was wearing business attire, because it says on the email something along the lines of 'Dress: business'. They didn't appear to mind that and the girls' not so business-like skirts, they were formal though.

Made a few contacts. Trading floor visit. Saw John Hourican and Antonio Polverino in their offices. M&A case study (best part of the day). Recent interns, markets & Banking grads talking about what they do and how they got there. DCM seems particularly live. Also had a session on how to wear a rolex sub, where to get the best deals on hermes ties and designer pinstripes, where best to have naps at 2.30am and wether you should have white or magnolia background on your business card- Very useful stuff.

As someone who has experienced the recruitment events/process (I think?), how are you actually meant to network when there's 10+ other people trying to do the same thing at the same time? Surely they are not going to distribute their contacts to all the people, right? By networking here I am talking about keeping in contact with the people in the bank, not other event attedees.

Did everyone who got in have to confirm it? I was only told to reply to a given e-mail address if I couldn't...

Will JP Morgan still exist next year? The way the economic crisis is going, maybe some of you are going to need to find another way to rip helpless poor people off by peering into computer screens.

Exactly the same. They emailed saying they'd accepted but do we need to get in touch?

Also I've accidently managed to delete the email, all I have is the login page of my account at JP morgan that says I've been successful. Could someone please give me the address (10/11 august)
