They are clearly desperate. Very desperate. Prepare to take some good beating if you’re going to accept.
Yeah, I’m not sure if I will tbh. I like the thrill of the Chase haha
Well, no I think you’re after a team which has more than just one VP left. Are you sure you are not gonna be the intern + analyst + associate + VP and probs your MD’s PA too as an all in package?
Giving out offer after one interview? I’m guessing you’re an external hire? I guess even current JPM retail and commercial banking hardos don’t want this job ... Be v v careful my dude ... This role is likely cursed
Which team is the offer for? Like DadJokes said they're actually losing people in almost all their teams and have been getting desperate..
I this just at JPM or also other banks?
Not aware of others, sorry. But looking at how bad things are, it wouldn't be surprising if other banks get to the same position soon enough
What position and type? Lateral analyst? They must be super desperate to do that, damn.
Had the same experience with JP for a lateral spot at one of their super sweaty groups lol - 2 interviews tho, but seemed like they were just throwing out offers at that point. Made me realize how brutal it must be for current analysts that the group is willing to take just about anybody if it means easing their analyst workload a tiny bit / preventing future early quits
What group is this for?
username checks out
BB or EB? We might in the same situation lol, SD > Offer while other HRs are urging me to schedule interviews with their banks. I am overqualified in many ways tho, just wanted to get out of my current group.
Seen this happen before but only for diversity hires
edit: people throwing MS - just lol man
What shop is this BB/EB/MM? Ldn or NYC? How does the group stand internally, good or bad rep fees-wise and culture? Answer those questions and you'll get a good sense of why they offered you the job so fast. They defo sound desperate tho
