J.P. Morgan 2019 IBD Video Interview
Hi guys, sophomore at non-target here.
I submitted my app for JP Morgan IBD 2019 yesterday and just got invited to do a video interview. Anyone else get the video interview? Also, will there be another phone interview after this or straight to superday?
Any insight or advice is appreciated.
J.P. Morgan Investment Banking Interview Process
Anyone going through the JP Morgan IBD application and interview process probably knows what to expect. You’ve done your research. You’ve networked with any contact you could think of. You’ve been active on the WSO IB forum. Congratulations on making the decision to compete with thousands of other intelligent humans to break into this industry. Although there’s no 100% set standard, the general process goes: Application--HireVue--Phone Interview--Superday.
Video Interview Tips
With more and more candidates getting invited to do a HireVue, it’s becoming even more important to set yourself apart during this stage. It may seem obvious, but the best candidates treat the video interview like an in-person interview. That means professional dress, professional environment and professional answers. Here are some things to consider before and during the interview:
- Before
- Make sure you have a quiet and clean place to record the interview
- Ensure your camera and microphone work
- Practice answers to common behavioral questions
- During
- Maintain eye contact with the camera
- Speak clearly, confidently and concisely
- You may only get one chance to record, so stay calm and confident no matter what happens

Video Interview Questions
In this round of interviews, you’re unlikely to encounter technical questions. Instead, most questions seem to be behavioral in nature. Most banks have moved beyond the generic, “Why investment banking?” question. Check out our forum here where community members have submitted some actual JP Morgan HireVue interview questions.
Community member @PotatoSalad" shares the questions he received:
- Talk about a time when you solved a problem and had to incorporate a diverse set of perspectives in the solution
- Give me a sales pitch on something you're interested in
- Talk about a time when you solved a complex problem and explain how you arrived at a solution

Hi OP,
JPM came by my university for a networking event last evening. From my knowledge, the timeline looks roughy like this (all of this is rolling of course):
First Hirevues came out today (late Feb)
First rounds (Phone screens) will likely happen March and onward. Superday (for non-diversity candidates) will start on a rolling basis and twice/month beginning in May.
Thanks for the info. Hate to see that superdays could be during finals week.
I got the hirevue today as well. Do you know if everyone who applied in the last few days got it?
Also, do diversity candidates get any preference at all?
And is there a deadline for the hirevue completion?
Don't know who got it, I wanted to know the same thing. I'm non-diversity and the deadline is probably somewhere in the email.
I applied 2 days ago and got the hirevue yesterday, I didn't do yet as I'm still looking for practice resources.
I doubt that the Hirevue was too selective. It's an extra data point for them to evaluate you before they actually commit analyst time to screening you over the phone.
I'd expect anyone who can make it past the system benchmark of GPA (most-likely 3.2/4.0) to receive a Hirevue.
Just finished the Hirevue interview.
3 questions, 1.5 minute each, only 1 trial each with 50 seconds prep time.
I just did mine. The questions I got were kind of wack. Do you think they care more about the delivery or the actual content itself?
Thank god you thought the questions were weird too... I was fine on two but one I wasn’t prepared for and IMO sounded enthusiastic but flustered.
The time was so short as well. Last year they gave 3 tries at 3 minutes each.. 90 seconds is hard to give a complete answer
JPM= Yello/Phone screen -> Superday
Friend that interviewed last fall said he did both video interview and phone screen before the superday.
It depends. Not always the exact same process. Typically it's apply > hirevue > superday, occasionally apply > hirevue/phone > superday. There is no 100% default.
Shocked to see it starting this early..
Superdays prior to sophomore summer internships...
Seems like a great idea.
In the same boat. This recruiting schedule is the dumbest arms race I've ever seen. I will be at a BB this upcoming summer and would love to return there. However, who knows what could happen over the summer and if I wanted to go somewhere else after the summer... I would have missed the boat.
I am going to ask for an extension until at least mid-July on any offers I receive, so I can at least gain a feel for the firm before I commit to anything the following summer.
anyone know officially when we hear back after completing the hirevue?
If you could share the HireVue questions, that would be so great.
Talk about a time when you solved a problem and had to incorporate a diverse set of perspectives in the solution
Give me a sales pitch on something you're interested in
Talk about a time when you solved a complex problem and explain how you arrived at a solution
you're the goat, I got asked exactly those 3 questions today
Did the JPM East Asia coverage hirevue - did not get those questions at all. Maybe its different depending on the region
Got the same questions for 2019 FT IB Analyst
Hey guys was wondering what you all think: do you think it is best just to submit asap or wait till we have networked with people then apply? what have you guys been doing?
bump, also curious as I haven’t began networking at all yet
Heard from friends working at JPM now that they can't do much until superday part (so just submit app now and then network later)
what do you mean they cannot do much "until superday part"??
Any online test like numerical？
There are no technical questions in the HireVue if that's what you're asking.
Bump. Has anyone heard back yet?
Confirmation that JPM received video interview February 28th and haven't heard anything yet. There also haven't been any updates in my career portal.
Has anyone done the markets Hirevue? Any technicals there? Apparently last year there were.
what were the questions like?
Is two days from getting the email a strict deadline? Or do you think it is fine if we do it a day late?
You're not alone. I never got the email but I happened to log into my career page and the message was there. I'm going to assume it's probably not the best as they have plenty of people submitting them within their allotted window. Good luck though.
Hey guys - do you know if you apply to multiple programs with JPMorgan if you have to submit multiple hirevues? Or do we only submit one hirevue? any insight and advice would be helpful. thanks!
multiple
thanks
i thought only the CIB app was open? I did mine a fews ago so maybe there are other programs open now?
there are other diversity programs open
Does anyone know how to access the career portal for JPM? I've submitted the hirevue, but not sure where the actual login career page is.
same i would like to know, did they change the career portal
https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/iam/accessmanagement/login.jsf…</a">JPMorgan Chase Career Portal - Sign In
How much importance do they place on the Hirevue?
idk tbh - i dont think it is tht big of a deal, i think networking matters more. it could help you though maybe if you are a non-target with good resume and did a good hirevue
.
has anyone been invited yet for the April super days or are they still reviewing applications?
Are there superdays as early as April?
.
do you know what they ask during phone screens
is you're phone screen with the Winning Women program or is it for the 2019 CIB SA?
When did you apply?
I did! I'm attending for Markets!
Do you remember what kind of interview questions there were? do you remember them specifically? Any technicals?
Application was updated today (March 15th) but nothing changed. Not sure what that means.
Just checked and mine was also updated today but no indication of what that really means
Apparently, if the 'Withdraw' button is still present you haven't been rejected yet. Just not sure how long it takes to update in the system if you are rejected. Not getting excited just yet.
hey what application did you check that shows it is updated? what link are you using and where does it say it was updated today?
BDWK @WolfOfBay"
I never received any emails saying my applications were updated. You guys? Anyways, I was wondering if you guys think the "submit a hirevue within two business days of this email" is a strict deadline? Now, it's 10 days later since that update...
Honestly, why tf didn't I get an email update about this
they are talking about an "updated" status change in the portal. no emails are sent after the hirevue at this point.
Any comments on the “within two business days” part? Is this a hard deadline/am I screwed?
Is everyone getting the same questions as posted above or are the questions randomly generated?
I think they're the same questions. I got the same as the ones posted above. The ones marked as "Best Answer".
Thanks!

Kind of awkward, and it shouldn't be a big deal if they are hard pressed for candidates, but given the ample choice they have, they have the power to ding anyone for anything -- i.e. it's not an algorithm that has a "pass" / "fail" outcome depending on certain inputs -- it depends on who is reviewing your application, the strength of your other answers, and how they feel about you at the time
Is it better to apply ASAP or when we're ready/have networked enough?
I forgot whether it was this thread but a lot of people are saying that for the HireVue, there is not much 1st year analysts can do to push you through. The only time the networking helps is when you get to the superday. I'd suggest adding any internships you have for this summer on your resume and start reaching out to people. So applying now might be best.
heads up, mine was "updated" again today - still just says completed tho
Mine still says the last update was March 15th...interesting...
Mine still says updated March 15th as well! Wonder what these updates indicate...
Same. Updated again yesterday.
Does anyone know when you hear back after a hirevue? submitted my hirevue recently
I submitted mine February 28th and still haven't heard anything.
I only got mine updated when I completed the HireVue. That was March 20 and no updates since :/
Mine keeps updating...on the 25th and again today. Hopefully process is moving along soon
If you don't mind me asking, what's your background?
Mine updated again today. I don't think it means anything.
There's definitely phone interviews before superday, honestly, it depends on the groups.
Has anyone heard back from JPM yet? Someone told me they were doing first rounds already, but not sure.
Did the JPM app portal appearance change for you guys? It looks a lot nicer now
App was updated recently
Some phone screens have come out for SF office, but haven’t heard anything from NY office.
Did anyone apply for the dates in may? any idea of when we might hear back?
I got a phone screen and first round from the JPM SF healthcare group, but I never completed the HireVue. Did submit the application, though. Interesting...
My phone screen was two weeks ago, and my first round was last Friday (April 6). SF healthcare told me they would inform me about superdays sometime this week.
Wow that makes me wonder if they even care about the HireVue. How did your interview go?
Can confirm, I also had my first round with JPM HC in SF this Friday. Waiting to hear back on superday this week.
Just had my first round JPM TMT from SF 30 minutes ago.
Can confirm as well. Had my phone interview with the SF Healthcare team on Friday and waiting to hear back. I’m pretty sure the HireVue is for the New York offices as I completed it after the SF interview.
How did yours go? Did you network much with the office before your interview? Also, would you assume that the superday would be this Friday?
When was the application for SF due? The flyer I got from on campus recruitment event (info session) just said TBD lol
what kind of stuff did they ask you during the phone screen/how long was it?
In the same boat—was told that I would hear about superday “soon”. Anyone have an idea of when we hear back?
No clue, but will update if I get invited
Maybe a bit different from other schools, but the recruiter for our school came yesterday and said this year they will do a "direct offer" format for IBD. She said the candidates will talk to 4 reps either in person or over Skype and there won't be superdays.
makes sense if you're at a top target haha
.
She didn't specify, but most students from our school apply to the NYC office.
im in the same boat but our recruiter hasn't been transparent can you pm me? @serenajiao"
had a phone round as well
NY or SF?
deleted
Did anyone hear back from the technology group?
Yeah, invites sent out today too. Also next Friday. I think all the groups in SF may have sent out superday invites today.
thank you
It's weird, cuz in the flyer I got from an on-campus event in March, it said that for Chicago office and for SF office, the application will be reviewed after the due date (4/15 for chicago and tbd april~may for sf)
Yeap got an invite for the tech group in SF
Are you guys from east coast schools?
Is anyone non-diversity for this superday round?
I am
anyone get a superday for healthcare?
Yes
are you an East coast school?
How did they reach out for phone screens? By email? I’m on the east coast and haven’t heard from anyone
I'm east coast too, they contacted me by email to set up phone rounds
could I ask more details? did you have contacts there/target school? i thought i had someone pushing me through but idk now
deleted
I'm wondering the same. I didn't hear back yet.
How long from when anyone did a hireview to when their phone screen came out?
Around 3 weeks for me. Submitted Hirevue late March.
NYC or another location?
Did anyone hear back for wealth management in SF or any other location yet?
Anyone heard anything about Houston?
anyone hear back about supers/first rounds for NY?
Would anyone mind sharing the 2019 CIB winning women Hirvue question? Seems like it only has one question
^bumping this
Did anyone receive an update to their app portal? A new job submission appeared on my portal (I did not apply to another one, mind you) and the the submission status was updated today, "Final Candidate"
Edit: pic
Did you have anything yet after submitting the hirevue?
I had a phone interview and superday with them via an insight program. Not sure if they would use those results for my general app, though. It would make sense to do so; otherwise, it'd be redundant
Edit: it's also weird that the headline says New York but the line below it says US-TX-Houston
.
@ihackapple7" Are you recruiting for the New York office or Houston Office?
Has anyone heard back from the Chicago office yet / know if there will be phone screenings? Dumbly enough I applied in April, which is not so long before the app closes for the Chicago office (4/15). Do you think they have already filled up the spots?
Did you get a HireVue?
I submitted my HireVue February 22nd and still haven't heard back. I don't think Chicago is a priority for them right now but I could be wrong.
yeah, I got it the day after I submitted the application
for whom are you referring to when you said that Chicago isnt a priority for them?
Anyone know when we should expect phone interviews after the hirevue video?
To the guys who applied these last few days: did u guys get the same questions for the HireVue?
1.Talk about a time when you solved a problem and had to incorporate a diverse set of perspectives in the solution
2.Give me a sales pitch on something you're interested in
3.Talk about a time when you solved a complex problem and explain how you arrived at a solution
Thank u for ur help
Yup I got those same questions for the NYC office, wasn't really expecting that 2nd question haha
Thanks!
For #2, do you guys think they were expecting finance related (i.e. stock)? I just did some rando item lol
Hello! Only 3 questions in the hirevue?
anyone know when superdays are starting for non diversity?
have already begun / offers have been extended.
for which location? do you know if chicago superday has begun / offers have been extended?
NYC / SF - pm me with questions
Do you guys know if it was rolling basis for ALL of the locations?
Did anyone get an offer from the SF Tech Superday on April 20th?
Nope, no response yet.
PM'ed you!
Bump! Anyone? Heard a few offers went out but I'm not sure if they're withholding a few.
if we have not heard back after hirevue (completed 3 weeks ago) for NYC from target have we been dinged? or are superday/phone screen invites for NYC still going out?
Same basic question here: After phone interview with TMT SF, I did not get a superday invite and didn't get a follow up. Checked portal and the location changed to NYC. Status doesn't indicate that I've been dinged. Thoughts?
Hey OP,
I'll be there this summer. It goes like this (at least for me):
Good luck!
if we have not heard back from ny after completing hirevue 4 weeks ago is this a ding or are decisions still going out
did you get a phone interview?
no
when does your portal say last updated? If it was 2-3 weeks ago I'd think a ding, if it was in the last few days you could still be up for an interview. not 100% sure if the updates means anything, but might give you some idea
