probably only experienced hires but following
It is for experienced hires - says as much in the application.
Who tf actually says J Pierpont Morgan?
I bet OP addressed his cover letter to J Pierpont Morgan
Actually just inserted a numerical test from a bulge bracket that rejected me bc they didn’t wanna pay for the flight to UK. Who tf writes a cover letter in this day and age
might as well eh
Bro who are you? Seriously I see you everywhere LOL. I say that in a good way.
Ari.
I'll have Lloyd put some time in your calendar. thx
I already told her I liked her. Sorry mate
Following
It’s at ~800 applications now and will surpass ~1,000.
Not a chance you get in unless you had a pre-existing (and strong) relationship with someone at the bank, and even then, competition will be very stiff.
No clue what culture is like but the office is small - like 5 people small. They’re trying to build out Canadian presence, so could be a cool opportunity, but I bet it’ll be an absolutely slog.
Have heard the globals in Toronto are sweatyyyyy, I’m sure JPM will be no exception.
An absolute ridiculous amount of apps wow
A lot of those are stay at home moms and people with irrelevant education though. Some even from different countries with no work permit
Do you know if this is lateral or new grad role
seems to be lateral only. Source: networked with the team
Dude read the posting lmao. Explicitly states for lateral hires.
Looks like it’s down now
They got enough applicants. It’ll take them some time sifting through all of them.
It could be new grad
Any datapoints on comp not only for JP but other BBs in Toronto?
I’m hearing anything between 110-120k
Cool, thanks for the insight. I also hear around threads that some BB or maybe it’s EBs, pay USD converted to CAD?! Correct me if I’m wrong cuz that type of pay sounds insane or is it simply USD to CAD equivalent?
Anyone get dinged yet ?
nah under review still. But will get dinged likely
Anyone hear back yet?
Nope
Any news from anyone?
nothing here (recent grad though, not expecting to hear anything). They’re a small team, would imagine they need a week to review resumes.
Dinged
Dinged
yep same here. Sent it out to everyone at the same time
Dinged as well.
Just got dinged
No ding yet but no interview either…anyone in the same boat?
You’re probably in a good spot if that’s the case - think rejections universally went out.
Alright kids. I can’t see much suffering of new grads here. If you have no connection to a director or an MD, filling applications doesn’t matter. Postings and applications are only for compliance. Lot of the times, the candidate that gets the offer didn’t even submit an application.
Across all globals in Canada. Probably also the Big 5, but I never worked at one of them.
Either get in a boutique/Big 4 advisory and lateral as experienced.
Or exit Canada.
Dude you are so full of shit. Many new grads on LinkedIn have landed roles in ER and banking/corporate banking. Don’t listen to this guy. Keep applying.
Ignore the response to this guy's comment - he is right.
I work at a B5 and we get hundreds of applications (which is nothing compared to BBs in Canada) - usually we have a batch of candidates we've already networked with ahead of time, except in exceptional circumstances.
If a BB makes a posting, you can all but guarantee everyone on the inside already has one or two candidates they are putting forward and they are just making the post as a formality (read: obligation).
Lmao, no one is going to take your advice Mr anonymous. That’s not how the world works. People will keep applying, with enough luck & determination, they’ll eventually land somewhere. You’re just mad at your current situation. Hang in there.
Could I PM you?
Did anyone who didn’t get dinged hear back?
Nothing yet
Nothing also
Has anyone who didn't get declined heard back? Mine still says under consideration.
Same brother, same
nevermind mine just got declined lol
Yea same - ignore my title I’m not an intern. No rejection or anything
Kinda odd cause now it’s opened back up
Any updates for those still under review?
Has anyone actually got a screener or 1st round for this? Everyone dinged
not dinged but literally heard nothing
del
I reapplied when they posted again - got dinged for the second app a few days ago. First one still active - applied w different emails
Has anyone heard anything from Toronto or Calgary?
Still under review for both.
The Calgary seat has been filled. Someone I know knows who got the seat.
No clue on Toronto.
was the person new grad or had IB experience, only reason I ask is given the language used on the posting it made it seem like it was a new grad.
Heard that they are quite far into the process so guess under review doesn’t mean much at this point.
Damn that’s rough, gg everyone
Do you know if there have been second rounds or just a prolonged first round window?
Out of curiosity what is ur experience like?
Did they say how long till you hear back?
has anyone else heard at this point other than that one person?
Don’t even trust that one guy - huge posting and only one person commented? Could be troll never know with this site.
Did you also interview?
