Interview Experience w/ JP Morgan Freshman/Sophomore

Question

So I noticed that when I was looking to prepare for my interview, there was nothing written on here that actually could help me. Not many people wrote about how their interviews went, so I figured I'd help the next round of people.
I am a freshman at a target, and today I had a first round interview with JP Morgan S&T for the Freshman/Sophomore internship. It was entirely behavioral, but I didn't have much on my resume to signal that I would be prepared for hard technicals anyway.

what do you expect the answer to be? that its not a dying industry?

Well that depends on a lot of variables. However, since I chose to focus on recruiting in credit years ago, I would have said:

1) let's focus on something a bit more specific than S&T.  That's waaaay too broad of a category.  Credit, especially derivates, are not necessarily slowing down all that much and things like CLO's are doing wonderfully if you have a CLO group.

2) this whole dying rhetoric is so out of hand these days.  Nothing is dying.

JPM IBD interview for freshmen/sophomore (Originally Posted: 01/21/2013)

Hi everyone,

First of all,  I want to say  Thanks WSO, for providing a substantial amount of valuable information to the general public.I've been an occasional lurker on WSO since senior year of high school. Now that I am a sophomore at a nontarget, I have an upcoming first round interview with JPM for research over the summer. I would like to know how the interview is. I have seen past threads where some users have PM'ed others ER report templates, but I don't have enough banana points to PM other users.

3 half hour interviews with 3 different people. two were mostly brainteasers, one was fit/background, zero technicals.

some questions i remember:
1) you have one weekend to raise $10,000 in central park. how do you do it?
2) stock pitch. my interviewer checked the stats on his phone as i was pitching so know your stuff
3) explain the '08 financial crisis
4) they might think you'd be a better fit for a different division.
