It seems like you're reflecting on your preparation for the JPM case study and how it ended up being different from what you expected. Based on the WSO dataset, case studies at JPM's assessment centers can vary significantly depending on the division or group you're applying to. For example, in the 2011 J.P. Morgan investment banking assessment center, candidates worked on an M&A case study involving a golf company with three acquisition targets. The focus was on making a clear recommendation, supported by valuation multiples like EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, and EBITDA margin.

If your case study was SIG-related, it likely required a different skill set or focus. This highlights the importance of being adaptable and prepared for a range of scenarios. While it's great to specialize in areas like infrastructure or project finance, always keep in mind that case studies can test broader analytical and presentation skills.
