Summer 2017 Applications

1) Yes - if you specified an interest in trading, you'll only interview for trading (I think they do AC's depending on area, so for example everyone at my AC was for trading).
2) Loads - there were around 20ish at mine.
3) Yes - if you don't impress any desks you're sent home at lunch (or before if no-one wants to interview you)
4) The less technical interview in the morning will cover basic macro. More technical depends on the desk -I was asked for trade ideas, people who were interviewed by Rates Options were asked really technical questions about pricing, really depends on the desk.
5) No - I interviewed till 6pm and then got rejected lol. Worst thing is they don't even give feedback (it's against company policy apparently).

Would this be only for markets or this is the general format for every JPM AC?

Lol when you score in the 85th percentile but get rejected because of the situational judgement. Brilliant!

I'd say BO. Risk maybe MO if you're compliance sitting on the trading floor.
but best to ask for confirmation, i don't know for sure.

Might as well just ask me to sit the interview for you.

Nah, then you'd get interrogated on how you sat, how they sat, interviewers eye colour and star sign etc

Finance is BO. Risk is generally considered MO.

I did not get that email at all, however I got 6 from Citi, I think that means they are still interviewing the batch before you

Oh. My. Lord.

What do you mean?

I had just asked about what questions were asked in Barclays telephone interview and what advice you have regarding how to prepare for it.

what kind of technicals you usually get asked in IM/AM interviews? Any reference would be really useful.

The reason they dont gve feedback is because believe it or not, they judge your personailty, how you dress, how groomed you are. Basically how presentable you look. Since its illegal to disciminate on looks, they just dont give feedback. A hr told me this.

Hi Guys,

What are the numerical tests at assesment centres like? Are they similar to the online versions?

Also, do they give you a basic or scientific calculator?
