The hiring manager was someone I had known at a previous job, so she had noticed my application. She was new to JPMC and wanted to hire "by the book." Eleven hour-long Zoom interviews later, the HR partner told me she’d decided to promote one of the team who interviewed me. That was probably the plan all along. They obviously liked me since each new interviewer was more senior, but JPMC is too large to have institutional memory so I would be starting over if I applied for another posting.
