Hi Monger!
In my experience first two interviews were very easy. I expected something related to finance, but all I was asked by the representatives was simple leadership/teamwork questions and "why JPM?".
Actually HR gives them the list of standard questions and they will be done in half an hour of the hour you'll have for each interview. After that you can ask them questions yourself. I am not sure if it is also part of checking you.
Good luck! |

Hi fffe, thank you very much for the tip-off!!
Here are two more questions for you:
1. I heard the rumour that some of the IB interviewers can be very aggressive asking aggressive questions. The purpose is to put you under lots of pressure and see how you respond. Is that the case with JPM first round or it depends on which division you are interviewing with (e.g. Sales&Trading vs Ops)? How to deal with it?
2. Did you have any questions that aim at testing your logical thinking and reasoning abilities. For instance, one of my friends was asked by another IB to estimate what percentage of British population read The Guardian on a normal day. It is not about giving out the right answer but the way you deduce it. Any thoughts on that?
BTW, fffe, did you go to the final round asscessment centre? Looking forward to your reply (or anybody who can help)
Thank you all very much once again!!
