New JP Morgan SA 2020 Thread
Ok, so the other thread got cluttered with people begging/selling hirevue questions (250+ comments on that alone), so I've created a new thread where we actually talk about general JPM 2020 SA stuff.

For people who got phone screens how long approx did this occur after Hirevue?
I saw in the previous chat that there isnt a phone screen. Not sure how accurate that is
Wait what??? So its hirevue -> superday bruh...
I can confirm that there will be no phone screens for NY, not sure about other offices.
who needs phone screens when you have FLEX SEAL
How far does a referral from a VP get you? A guaranteed superday?
Yes
Depends if they are on recruiting team or not, but leaning towards a guranteed superday. Perhaps find out who the staffer is (tends to be a Senior Assoc/1st Yr VP who will step away from his/her job to staff interns/group for the summer)
Does this bypass the hirevue/pymetrics? Worried about not getting past the computer when I have higher ups who want to help me out?
Depends.
Did not even get hirevue fuck me
Sorry to hear that man... most likely means you didn't make the GPA cut off. try networking with a VP or higher, as they may be able to push your resume through. can't hurt to try
.
yes I think everyone gets pymetrics
What was your GPA?
Submitted my applications for LDN and AMS. Did not receive a HireVue/pymetrics test yet.
Anyone else here that applied to any of the two offices?
I applied to LDN around June 15th. Received Hirevue like 4 days later. Haven't received Hirevue for New York though.
Did you get pymetrics assessment before hirevue?
Applied for both. Got both HirveVue/Pymetrics. You may have applied too late because apps are rolling
What the hell, that's crazy. Can't imagine them being so early with recruiting for the LDN and AMS offices...
Haven't received Hirevue for NY. Applied on June 15th but edited my application about 3 days ago. Anyone still waiting for NY hirevue?
I'm pretty sure the next wave of hirevues hasn't been sent out yet. I got mine in the bulk that was sent out on the 14th so you will probably get it in the coming weeks.
Thanks man!
I applied on the 14th and got a HireVue on the 20th for what it's worth. You might've missed the next wave cut off by a day.
ooh i see. Thank you.
UPDATE: Received Hirevue on 6/25.
Anyone applying for other European offices? Except London
AMS
Does anyone if the hirevue for markets -trading is the same as markets - sales?
I did the hirevue for trading and research and can confirm they are the same.
ty
How long does it take for the HireVue to come after the pymetrics assessment?
Pretty sure its done in rounds. Everyone that applied to USA IBD the earliest got a Hirevue June 14. I'm assuming JPM will review these hirevues before proceeding to the next group of people.
I applied and got pymetrics no hirevue. Why?
either didn't meet the GPA requirements or it'll be sent in the next wave
I applied to market trading, market research, and investment banking, all at NYC, on June 17. I received the trading hirevue two days later and the research hirevue three days later. I have not yet received a hirevue for IB one week later.
Same here. Applied to Market Research, Asset Management and Investment Banking. Did the pymetrics and received hirevue for Market Research on June 20th (applied but haven't heard anything from Investment Banking as of yet and applied to both June 16th). Anyone else have a similar situation? Would love to hear your guys' timelines and where y'all stand in this as well.
Applied on June 10th to IB, AM, and RE. Received hirevue for IB on the 14th, and app currently shows "Under Consideration." Haven't received hirevues for AM or RE, but did pymetrics for all. AM shows "Application Received," last updated on the 10th, and RE shows "Application Reviewed," last updated on the 19th.
Update: Received hirevue 6/25 after submitting resume&application 6/16
can you send me the market research hirevue question please
One thing I do find peculiar is this: https://gyazo.com/aadc84f56c005df7c8d3c3fa474de8c7
Just like last year when I applied, I still see this screen even after submitting the application. Did receive a confirmation email though... so I guess its normal.
Can confirm its hirevue --> pymetrics --> superday
Any idea when we should expect to hear back about superday?
Honestly no clue but if I had to take a guess it’s late August early September because that’s what Goldman is doing as well
I watched the JPM Corporate & Investment Banking SA webinar last week and was told that there is a 4-6 week review process after the HireVue and that the superday happens in September. Not sure about the timeline for earlier/later superdays. This was for the JPM CIB NY office.
Has anyone heard anything from MS? I submitted hirevue almost a month ago now and still nothing
A recruiter told me to expect the first wave at the beginning of July.
Are you talking about JP?
anyone know if hirevue is same across all divisions or you need to do separate interviews for each position? Also anyone know the questions?
You need to do separate hirevues for each division that you apply for I believe - that being said I haven't received a hirevue for all of the positions I've applied for so can't be 100% sure
what hirevue have you completed?
Anyone hear anything for Calgary? I completed hirevue, and it says "Under consideration", but was updated after the hirevue was completed. Last update was the 21st. Do they even do superdays for Calgary offices?
From my understanding (taken from what people have said above), there are no phone screenings and superdays will take place in July or later, however no one has been contacted yet. I'm in the same position with "Under consideration" for NY IB, but other applications show "Application received" or "Application reviewed." I'd say July at the earliest we would start hearing back, but probably more toward August and September.
So from my understanding, the earliest superdays will be in July?
Hey, did you eventually receive a hirevue for the "Application reviewed" groups?
I'm also applying to Calgary, how long after your application and pymetrics did you get the Hirevue? I only completed the pymetrics on Sunday which admittedly I should've done earlier, but I haven't gotten a Hirevue yet which is worrying me a bit since I thought everyone got one. Do you know if they send them out in waves?
A day or two I think, but its coming in waves (like me) so you will probably be in the next batch
When you applied for IB, did you guys have different applications for different locations? I just applied with one application and thought we just rank our location preferences.
Just one application. I've been saying NY-pref because that's what I put as my 1st option. I don't think there are different hirevues for the different location, however.
Is Hirevue invite dependent on when you applied or did the tests? I applied like a week or so ago but completed the tests on the 22nd. Should I heard back in the next wave?
Probably the next wave. I think the 19th or 20th was the cutoff. They're probably doing it once a week or so.
Ok phew
Just received asset management hirevue. Applied first day apps opened. Seems like they prioritized sending out IB stuff first
Does anyone have the hv questions for the new york office?
Sorry
Not sure it's very clever to give others the questions so they can prepare better than you or some next level Machiavellian strategy so that people sound too scripted.
Applied on June 9th for NY. Got email to do pymetrics right away. Got email to do hireview June 14th.
https://gyazo.com/aadc84f56c005df7c8d3c3fa474de8c7
Anyone else see this page even after submitting the app?
Yes - I as well as some other individuals in a thread discussed how this was super misleading and can lead to people thinking that they hadn't submitted properly; from what I understand, though, I think seeing that screen is no indication of not having properly submitted so you should be fine
PM me if you have completed the IB or Research HireVue
Sorry
how much time can you wait to do the hirevue usually?
There was no limit specified in the email -- I know MS gives you 48 hours from the time you get the email
No time limit but if you wait until they send the next batch of hirevues you've basically screwed yourself over, Admissions are rolling so if you wait too long you kick yourself back a round.
Has anyone who applied to the wealth management SA for NY received a hirevue yet?
I just received one today. I applied for the Private Bank specifically
I also got my WM hirevue today
Thanks, I received mine as well
I received one on 7/1. It’s for the Latam region tho.
Anyone know the process after hirevue for London?
Also interested.. Have you already received hirevue for london? If yes, is it for IB?
Yeah I actually already did my IB hirevue a week ago. If they screen CVs before I’m actually surprised because compared to some people on here I don’t have quite the comparable experience.
Any way to prepare for the pymetrics?
you literally can't prepare - it's just some games don't worry
For the people who have done the hirevue for IB, was there a question that involved discussing a recent deal or was it all behavioral and fit?
Anyone applied to NY and London? Do you have to do separate Pymetrics for both applications?
Same, did you also have to do a separate interview? Because they just emailed to do the interview although I thought for the same division your interview is used by all locations.
Made a mistake. Apparently you can only do 1 pymetrics and not 1 per application/office.
Maybe a bit late now but... 1 Pymetrics per applicant (for all applications) and each position has a different HireVue even if you are applying to the same position, just different locations. Hope this helps!
Spoke with a JPM analyst in NY yesterday. He told me they had just finished the training process for reviewing HireVues, and nothing has been looked at yet. I'm assuming they will move forward with reviews within the next week
He also confirmed that the process is HireVue --> Super Day invite He didn't know anything about the date of the super day, and he sounded like it hasnt even been planned yet
Good intel, +1. Any chance he said anything about how they will do the rounds of superdays/in what order Hirevues are reviewed? i.e. will they look at all completed hirevues and give superdays in no formal order when they start, or will they start with people who did it in the first round, then second round, etc etc.
I applied really early and am still under consideration updated July 1. Any clues when super day invites are out?
Any one know when the earliest superdays would be?
Please, does anyone know. For international applicants, will we be sponsored for superday if it’s hirevue -> Superday?
Superdays are all paid by JPM including flights and hotels. But I am pretty sure if you are applying for a position outside of country you get video interview instead of superday.
My application for IB says "Under Consideration" but last updated 6/28 and I submitted on the 18th
In the same situation.
I believe the last updated date is the day you completed your Hirevue. I submitted my Hirevue on the 29th and that is the last updated date for me.
That’s what i’m saying it was further updated as I submitted on the 18th and the date changed from 18 to 28
I submitted on 6/21 and received it on 6/28, rising sophomore
anyone know how long we have to complete the hirevue?
Also wondering.
No deadline but I would do it within a week.
Until the next wave of Hirevue's are sent out, at which time they focus their attention away from all previous waves. Each wave appears to be around 2 weeks.
Hey guys, received a hirevue around a week ago and have been sitting on it because I was hoping to talk to more FT analysts about the position before fully submitting my app. Do you guys think its wise to wait and speak with people first?
It seems as though JPM is trying to push the recruiting process away from a solely networking prospective, where you get an advantage for reaching out to many people. From what you guys have heard either first or second hand, what do you guys think about this? Also, do you think it's bad to sit on a hirevue for longer than x amount of time?
Thanks, and good luck everyone!
I talked to an analyst last week and she said JPM is trying to reduce the amount of pull people in the firm have in getting people moving forward in the process so there is definitely a reduced emphasis on connections. I think having connections at VP level or above are really the only things that can make a really significant impact at this point but someone should correct me if they have heard otherwise. I have heard that if you sit on the hirevue for too long after you received it you will be grouped into the next batch of hirevue recipients as the applications are rolling.
Awesome, thanks for the helpful response! Am curious as to if others have heard the same thing
Would also love any info about the “last updated” changes on my applications. My IB app was last updated 7/1 and it has been changing a lot recently. Just was wondering if anyone knows what that means.
I believe it’s updated as each hirevue set goes out. Whenever a new batch of people get hirevues, my date gets updated.
Have you guys received any confirmation after completing pymetrics? I completed them on 30th, no confirmation, no hirevue invite and status at "application received". I meet all the requirements, such as GPA/graduation date + target
It should take about a week after submitting the pymetrics for you to get your Hirevue
It’s only day 2 after you sent in the app... probably will get the hirevue in 3-5 days.
I applied to IB/Market Trading/AM and got hirevue for only AM, does that mean my IB and MT apps got dinged? Did anyone else get their AM hirevue yet? I applied on June 15th btw
Also wondering, applied research and trading and just got hirevue for trading 20 mins ago but nothing on research yet
I just got my trading Hirevue too I think I should be getting IB one soon. Maybe they are sending out hirevues based on the division
I applied for IBD, Trading and Research all in London, only got IBD and Research hirevues
