JPM SA Application - apply for an Off-Cycle in a different region at the same time
Hi,
Would it hurt my application for London IBD SA at JPM to also apply for a Dubai/other EMEA OC?

I hope it isn’t I did the same for MS and JPM. I don’t think they care to be honest. I applied for MS off cycle but also SA. Shortly after, got invited to first round interview for the SA and HR started corresponding with me for the OC.
Plus, from what I observed HR from various locations do not communicate that much between each other and can’t see whether an applicant applied to various locations.
Curious to see if you had divergent opinions.
Thanks! Really hope it won't be a problem since I want to hedge my bets but also wouldn't want to risk the London SA application (which is my main priority). Did you apply to MS OC outside London btw? Didn't know they were open for OC (sadly got rejected by them for SA today)
OC for Frankfurt-am-Main. Did you have the first round interview at MS or just the pymetrics? I would be interested in discussing about the 1st round
Sadly fucked myself by applying for a different MS OC a few months ago and not doing too well on their tests which got carried along for the SA now... So rejected without the phone call
