Go to an Ivy and have the opportunity to potentially join the JPM Digital Markets team. Confused as to what exactly it is. Everyone’s saying it’s solidly FO as it’s part of Markets yet to me it seems more like a product manager role. Anyone heard of it and have insight into what the team does and perception ?

It is definitely a front office role, but it's fairly versatile and can be a little more "techy" than typical S&T. You are right to say it is somewhat similar to a product manager role at a tech company. The team essentially focuses on the future of S&T at JPM, and you could be assigned to a bunch of different teams within digital markets. Some may focus on creating better sales or execution platforms for a certain client type, and others may focus on building out a market-making division for crypto or other digital assets. This is actually the "exit opportunity" for a lot of people in sales, research, or sometimes even trading. The role usually has better hours and its super helpful having a background in S&T to begin brainstorming ways to automate, improve customer experiences, or even. build out whole new divisions or research tools. Less common, but I'm sure you could also move from digital markets to a more traditional sales or trading role as well. Comp will probably be similar to traditional S&T at junior levels, but it will depend on the success of your specific groups success obviously for bonuses. Some teams within digital markets sound more interesting than others (some adhere to people with engineering backgrounds whereas some will be more client-focused), so I would try to figure out which one you'll be placed on exactly. Super cool opportunity though and would definitely pursue
Thanks for this, any idea of what exit opps look like ?
This kind of is the exit opp, but if you wanted to leave you could go on a few different directions:
Sint cumque molestiae hic ex neque incidunt. Non dolores aspernatur eos sit. Temporibus inventore est nostrum veniam. Odio voluptatem corporis voluptatem labore id modi et natus.
