The Spring Insight Programme at J.P. Morgan was a five-day experience designed to give a comprehensive overview of the firm’s different lines of business. Each day focused on a specific division, such as Investment Banking, Markets, Asset & Wealth Management, and Risk Management. The days typically ran from 9 AM to 5 PM and included a mix of business presentations, panel discussions, networking events, and interactive workshops. Mornings often started with talks from senior professionals introducing their division and explaining their roles. This was followed by Q&A sessions and interactive case studies or simulations, depending on the department. Afternoons were usually dedicated to skills-based sessions (e.g., communication, teamwork, problem-solving), as well as networking opportunities with recent graduates, analysts, and other employees. The programme also included a social event, allowing participants to connect with professionals in a more relaxed setting. Overall, the insight combined learning, interaction, and practical exposure to the firm’s culture and business areas.

Yes, definitely. Throughout the week, I developed my communication and networking skills by speaking with professionals from different divisions and backgrounds. I also improved my ability to ask clear and relevant questions, especially during panel sessions and networking events. Additionally, I gained a better understanding of how to collaborate effectively in group exercises, and I feel that my commercial awareness and knowledge of the firm’s business areas have also grown significantly.

It was really eye-opening and inspiring. I didn’t realise how many different roles existed within the firm, and it helped me understand how each team contributes to the bigger picture. The presentations and networking sessions made it much clearer which roles could suit my skills and interests, especially in Markets, which I’m particularly drawn to. It also gave me a better sense of the day-to-day responsibilities and the kind of mindset needed for each position.

The company culture felt very welcoming and inclusive. Everyone I met was approachable, open to questions, and genuinely willing to share their experience. There was a strong sense of collaboration and support across teams. The overall atmosphere was both professional and friendly, which made it easy to feel comfortable and engaged throughout the week.

I really enjoyed the insight – it was an amazing opportunity to learn more about the different business areas, meet inspiring professionals, and better understand the culture at JPMorgan. The mix of presentations, interactive sessions, and networking made the experience both engaging and motivating.

Yes

My advice would be to stay authentic and show a genuine interest in the firm and the financial industry. Take time to understand JPMorgan’s values and different business areas, and don’t hesitate to connect with current or former interns to gain insight. During the application process, focus on your motivation, your willingness to learn, and how your personal experiences have shaped your interest in finance. Finally, don’t stress too much about having deep technical knowledge — being curious, engaged and open-minded matters just as much.
