JPM Started Layoff

This is for their mortgage division but do you guys know if they have rescinded offers before for incoming SA for IB? I accepted an offer a while back for summer 23 but just wanted to prepare incase layoff continues throughout the company and they start rescinding offers.

Here is the article https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/22/investing/jpmorgan…

JPM will not rescind your offer. Sure they may have a lower FT offer rate or even get to layoffs in IB, but your offer won't realistically get rescinded. 1 keep in mind that IB is a very different part of the bank than mortgages. IB is known for having insanely high fees on a per person basis whereas other divisions just simply don't. Further, the bonus system means that there is a lot of wiggle room if the markets are bad. Banks are also coming off of a period of extreme personnel shortage in COVID so odds are they aren't willing to risk that again. If you check out the 10+ other threads on this in the last month you'd see that even the full time argument is just a bunch of prospects theorizing. I haven't seen any actual people involved in the hiring decision say that they have fewer spots or even propose that they would. Chill out and be glad you did not take a tech job...

 

Also, its significantly easier to fire Assocs/VPs above you. New analysts and even new associates are cheaper than everyone in the hierarchy. Many banks operate under that premise. Even if they don't officially lay-off people, they "lay-off" people every year in that the bottom ~10% is told there's no promotion for them to the next level and managed out and/or given bottom bucket bonus as a way of managing them out.

And if you need a comparison, many tech firms PIP anywhere between 3%-8% of their staff annually (you can search for Google, Netflix, etc.'s annual PIP rate on TeamBlind), with the percentage being higher during economic slow-down. So you are not necessarily better off at other "high performing" environments either. 

TLDR: focus on yourself, and focus on doing well when you start. You signed on to a great firm. Control what you can, not what you can't.
