Bump
I applied and the application status says "in progress - assessment" but I haven't gotten an assessment yet. Does anyone know when I'll get the assessment?
bump - not sure what that means
bump haven’t received anything
Just did the assessment it’s in your workday account
Did you apply for Business Analyst or Strat? I applied for strat and haven't gotten anything
Did the AIP last summer and starting as a BA in a month, happy to answer any questions about recruiting or the job
Hey, could you shoot me a DM?
Looking to lateral from banking for something more chill. Did you network or recommend it for this?
Networking helpful but not necessary
has anyone else not gotten it yet the assessment
I haven't either, and I applied for strat. Also I noticed they closed the strat app, so maybe we will hear something soon?
i got a reply from recruiting saying if u took it last year u don’t have to do it again
Got an email from a recruiter asking for location preferences, good sign I hope?
for Business Analyst or Strategy??
BA
have anyone heard anything for strategy then?
Haven’t. If I don’t get anything by eow probably didn’t get
Haven't either
.
Hey, current C1 BA/former ADP. I wouldn't assume that. Its middle of summer so a lot of people are taking time off, there are current interns to manage, and performance management cycle just wrapped up. Students & grads recruiting requires substantial time investment from the BA and Strategy associates, so initial timelines envisioned by recruiters and development program leads unfortunately rarely materializes as envisioned.
Candidates are handled in batches, and as far as I know no one has been setup for an interviews yet. We'll probably start making our way through the current volume of candidates in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
This was super helpful. Thank you so much!
Anyone's status change to "In Progress - Interview" but didn't receive any contact from a recruiter yet?
Was this for BA or strategy?
BA, and for you?
Mine did as well but I did get an email, hopefully a good sign for you!
did u get an interview?
I see, I'm getting a bit anxious because my status changed to "In Progress - Interview" on Monday but still haven't received any emails
anyone hear back for strategy
I have not yet
What is difference between BA and Strategy role?
I'm a current BA intern. The BA role is pitched as "internal consulting" but is really more of an analytics/data role. The actual day to day role is very dependent on which of the 150 different teams you are on. Some roles are more technical (python coding) while others are more consulting-like. All roles utilize SQL programming extensively. The strategy role is actually internal consulting and there are lots of ex-MBB people there. Last year they took ~200 BA interns and only ~12 strategy.
C1 is a great place to work with excellent comp (~140k TC for new hire ADPs) and WLB (30-40 hours a week). Compared to MBB, the exit opportunities are more limited (no PE, mostly tech) and the salary/career progression is slower.
is it really 140k TC though? i was told 106k base, and under 10k bonus
Per my offer letter:
- 106k base (VA)
- 0-6.6k performance bonus
- 20k signing for returning interns, 15k signing for non-returning
- 2.3k relocation bonus (1500 grossed up)
so the range for Y1 comp is roughly 123k - 135k
Just curious, what does the current comp package look like for Strat/BA ADPs? I had an offer a few years back before they bumped it way up so I'm curious how it compares now.
Thought I'd seen somewhere last year that it was ~100k/106k/112k for TX/VA/NYC with ~5k target bonus and then ~15k signing? How does that progress?
IIRC my offer for class of 2020 for TX was low 80k or so and then ~12k signing and ~4k target? So thats a big jump but I might be misremembering though
Not sure abt texas but VA is $106k base w $3-4k bonus and $15k sign on and nyc is $113k base
Per my offer letter:
- 106k base (VA)
- 0-6.6k performance bonus
- 20k signing for returning interns, 15k signing for non-returning
- 2.3k relocation bonus (1500 grossed up)
so the range for Y1 comp is roughly 123k - 135k
Seems like it's gone way up. I assume strat is the same? I imagine Cap1 levels off comp wise after senior analyst level, but that's still a great package for anyone not in MBB/IB/FAANG, especially given the WLB.
FWIW to those reading the thread, JPMC has (or at least did last I knew?) 1-2 very similar programs (FAST and CB Innovation), albeit they are newer and not nearly as big yet. Pretty sure comp is roughly the same as Cap1 these days, but with higher potential bonus and lower signing bonus. I ended up taking that job instead out of college. This is not to be confused with the Chase LDP program, which is not really comparable to Cap1 BA and pays much lower.
Not the BA role but has anyone heard back from the Commercial Banking team?
Does anyone know if strategy has already handed out first rounds? Haven't heard anything from friends who have applied or this thread regarding it
Haven't heard anything either
I have not heard anything yet
I just heard back about first round!
for strategy?? and did you apply to NYC or Virginia?
Do you think they come out in waves? I haven't heard back
My strat application says “in progress - assessment”
I completed the VJT soon after submitting the first week of July. Does everyone else have the same status?
I still have it as well.
As well
I got a first round for Strategy
When did you preference location?
Oh wait sorry I was thinking of a different application - just got the interview then
Have you received a decision from your first-round interview yet?

Has anyone heard back from 1st round yet?
Nope

That’s a crazy turnaround time - I did mine last week and still haven’t heard back

Anyone hear back yet? Did R1 this morning but haven’t heard of anything yet
got a call an hour ago that i'm moving to the second round
When did u interview?

Those who have completed PowerDay for Strategy - how did it go?
alright for me has anyone heard back?

Does a location preference form mean I am receiving an interview?
