When does JPM background check?

Just accepted an offer for SA 2023 and I'm wondering when they background check so I can let my references know in advance since I haven't spoken to them in a while.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“The session with Javier was excellent. We started by going through our backgrounds - it was interesting to hear how he moved from IB to running his own real estate portfolio at a small PE firm. We then covered the behavioural part, which was very useful, and the technical part, with a good range of questions on accounting, valuation and DCF. He gave clear points for improvement, especially on structuring behavioural answers and preparing for the tougher questions that come up in PE interviews. Very grateful - thank you!”

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“The session was incredibly valuable because the mentor offered fresh perspectives and helped me look at my career goals from a different angle. They shared insights that I had not previously considered, which gave me a better understanding of the industry and the different paths I could pursue. I especially appreciated their willingness to share their experiences and provide thoughtful advice tailored to my situation. The conversation helped me think more critically about my next steps and how I can better position myself for future opportunities. Overall, I found the discussion insightful and genuinely helpful, and I left the session with new ideas and a broader perspective on my career journey.”
