I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (New York, NY) in Mar 2020
Interview
Pretty intensive. At least 3-4 interviews. Deep knowledge accounting and finance required. Direct questions involving financial statements and scenarios. Analysis of business quality and comparative analytics. Have a stock pitch ready both long and short.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Mumbai) in Aug 2022
Interview
1st round = 45mins - 1 hr long (2 interviewers).
Q's about job experience (need to convey experience properly and as per the correct structure for eg: if worked on a research report - need to be clear in terms of the format, process followed, valuation method, recommendation etc). Expect cross questions on the work done.
