Does anyone know when the JPM background checks will clear / when the signing bonus is released? Also, is it recommended to take the SIE before training to get it out of the way / take the pressure off of studying for the other exams?

piece of advice - cherish your life before you start banking bc you have all the freedom in the world. don’t waste it on anything banking related rn except for on cycle stuff
Another incoming analyst here, I don’t think we get an official notice when background checks clear, you’ll only hear something if there are issues with it. Was told sign on would come out closer to start date or with first paycheck
First paycheck
Sounds good, thanks. Any advice on SIE?
If u fail the SIE you’re retarded. Enjoy the last few months of freedom and drink some beer. You will be fine
Facere ut sint quasi. Pariatur asperiores nisi ipsum non. Nesciunt id expedita ut sequi voluptas ad. Non quidem enim veritatis odit perspiciatis culpa perferendis.
