“I had a very positive experience with my mentor and I am truly grateful for the time, support, and guidance they provided throughout our sessions. From the very beginning, my mentor was extremely kind, approachable, and available, which made it easy to communicate openly, ask questions, and discuss both my goals and uncertainties about the next steps in my career.
One of the most valuable parts of the mentoring experience was the work we did together on my LinkedIn profile. We essentially rebuilt and improved it from scratch, carefully going through my previous experiences, skills, and achievements and discussing how to present them in a clearer and more effective way. My mentor helped me understand how important it is to have a strong and well-structured LinkedIn profile and how to use it to communicate my strengths, professional interests, and career goals. The feedback and practical suggestions I received were extremely useful, and I now feel much more confident about how I present myself professionally online.
Beyond my LinkedIn profile, I particularly appreciated the practical tips and honest advice my mentor shared with me about how to approach the next steps in my career. The guidance was not limited to improving my online presence, but also helped me think more strategically about where I want to go and how I can get there. I received valuable suggestions on how to position myself, what aspects of my profile to focus on, and how to approach future opportunities more effectively.
Another aspect I appreciated was my mentor’s willingness to listen and adapt the conversations to my specific needs. I never felt that the sessions were generic or simply followed a predefined structure. Instead, the discussions were tailored to my situation, which made the advice much more relevant and actionable. My mentor was patient when explaining things, encouraging when I had doubts, and constructive when pointing out areas where I could improve.
Overall, this mentoring experience gave me both practical tools and greater confidence in taking the next steps in my professional journey. I came away with a significantly improved LinkedIn profile, a clearer understanding of how to communicate my experience and strengths, and a better idea of how to approach my future career development.
I would definitely recommend this mentor to anyone looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. Their kindness, availability, and practical approach made the experience extremely valuable, and I am very grateful for all the time and effort they dedicated to helping me.”
MS allowed international students to WFH. You don't even need OPT/CPT.
Heard same at BAML, they put them with the local office
Can confirm BAML because I am an APAC intern who's gonna work with a US team (and getting my start date delayed cuz of doing onboarding process all over again :/)
Just fly back. Have seen international’s offer at a BB rescinded at this stage
not so easy
It’s hard but at this stage maybe (i) ask for exception that you can work with the time gap or (ii) ask to be placed in local office (maybe more similar timezone). Gotta secure the return offer no matter what dude.
Does JPM allow US interns to work outside of US?
no
It may be tricky if they need to mail you a laptop. Plus you may need to connect to their server, not sure how feasible it would be. Hope it all works out !
They would not send you a laptop unless you really need it. I think they probably worry about how challenging cooperation would be given the 12-hour time gap...
What's your home country?
I am in a similar position. OP can you PM me?
Interesting...I’m also international and interning at JPM this summer but I’m working from home. Not based in NY tho so not sure if that’s the reason
Could you please PM me? Would love to connect with you
.
Could you please PM me? I would like to ask to know more about your situation.
No - personally know a JPM intern who was required to be at the work location stated in the contract.. cant WFH from a different country for regulatory reasons
What would happen if the intern cannot return to the work location due to travel restrictions?
HR will rescind the offer (but will probably try to work on alternatives e.g., next year SA/or fast track FT interview?)
Could they work at the local office isntead? someone suggested this in a different comment.
What if the intern cannot return to the US due to travel restrictions?
International student stuck in the EU for HK office: I am allowed to WFH as long as I have the rights to work in the local country. Needed to sign new contract with the local office but still work with original team with time difference.
Hump
What can differentiate international students to get an OPT other than having a STEM degree? what advice would you give to the international students who’re seeking OPT in JPM, Goldman, etc?
bruh OPT isnt company specific. You just apply for it without even needing a job. Ask you international dean
