I applied for the position on JPM's website. I was contacted by the division's recruiting coordinator about a week after applying to schedule an interview. My first interview was at JPM's headquarters with 3 people (2 executive directors onsite, 1 VP on the phone) and lasted 2 hours. The interview consisted of questions about my background, details about the position and team overall and insight into what would be expected of me. At the conclusion of the interview, I was given a presentation assignment to complete within a week, the result determining if I'd return for a 2nd round of interviews. After submitting the presentation within 2 days, the recruiting coordinator contacted me the next day about scheduling a 2nd interview. My 2nd interview was with 8 people, consisting of a mix of VPs, EDs and MDs onsite and on the phone in other JPM locations. This round of interviews was pretty exhaustive, lasting about 6 hours. Everyone was inquisitive about my background, knowledge, skill set and personality, mainly to get a sense of how I'd fit within the team. Overall, it was a great experience, being able to speak with really bright, driven and accomplished individuals. About a week after my 2nd interview, the recruiting coordinator contacted me to make an offer for the position, which I ultimately accepted.
