JPM IG Finance Group

Ah, the waiting game after hitting that "apply" button can be as nerve-wracking as a banana peel on a tightrope. But here's the scoop based on the most helpful WSO content:

1. Application Status "Under Review": This typically means that your application is in the process of being evaluated. The timeline can vary widely depending on the group's needs, the number of applicants, and the internal processes at JPM. Patience is key, even though it's as tough as refusing a banana split on a hot day.

Now, let's peel back the second layer of your question:

1. Is the IG Finance Group still hiring?: Without current updates from JPM or insights from recent threads, it's hard to say for certain. However, if the application was still open when you applied, that's usually a good sign that they're still looking to fill positions. Keep an eye on the WSO forums for any bananas—I mean, updates—that might slip out about hiring trends or recruitment news.

Remember, networking can sometimes speed up the process or at least give you more visibility. Don't hesitate to reach out to current employees or alumni who might have the inside track on what's happening. It's like swinging from vine to vine; it might just get you there faster!
