The Spring Week provided a comprehensive look into JP Morgan's technology and business operations. Days involved a mix of informative talks on various topics (tech, finance, strategy), practical workshops, team-based challenges, and networking sessions with employees from different levels. It offered a strong overview of the firm's culture and the kind of work involved, as well as valuable insights into potential career paths within a large financial institution.

Yes, particularly my leadership and mentoring skills. I had the opportunity to guide a team member with less experience through React/Next.js concepts during a project/challenge, which significantly developed my ability to explain complex topics clearly and support others' learning.

It was incredibly insightful. The sessions broke down JPMC's vast business areas and clearly demonstrated how technology underpins everything they do. Through talks and networking, I got a much clearer picture of the diverse tech roles available – from core engineering to strategy and infrastructure – and how they contribute to the firm's overall success.

I found the atmosphere incredibly welcoming and supportive, particularly within our close knit tech cohort where collaboration flowed easily. While clearly a demanding environment with high expectations, the culture seemed geared towards mutual support and learning. Senior staff were approachable, so it felt less intimidating than expected.

I enjoyed the insight very much. It was genuinely useful and well presented, and gave a practical look into how technology functions within a major financial institution. Understanding the business context and potential career paths was extremely valuable.

Yes

Don't just say you're interested in finance/tech. Research JPMC's specific business areas (CIB, Payments, Asset Management, etc.) and understand how technology underpins them. Mentioning specific divisions or even projects shows genuine interest.
