It was fast paced with alot of work so you really got alot of knowledge out of your experience.

On a professional level you felt valued as part of the team, with real responsibilites and tasks that actually impacted the business, rather than being a bystander. On a personal level there were various team and office nights such a comedy shows, pub quizzes, BBQs etc that we were always welcomed and invited to.

Alot of the work was done independently, which gave us more confidence to do tasks. However we were given explanations of what to do and were given a constant touch point if we needed help.

The internship offered various ways of learning. Through usual business as usual tasks that occured everyday to get you into a routine, but also exposed you to new projects, new teams and departments.

Alot of responsibility was passed onto the interns here. We felt that we were trusted and had earnt that responsibility. Really rewarding when the work you have done over a period of time has now allowed something to be approved or gone to the next step.

Despite my degree not being directly applicable to the line of business it aided me with a vast variety of skills that I can apply back to my degree in the way I study/handle things. But also business and working skills that I can apply to any steps I take in the future.

The office was always busy, but still maintained a relaxed and approachable vibe. This helped the work balance alot.

There were various layers of organisation within the internship. We had our own personal managers who could execute tasks to us. Then we had a further level of senior advisors who we met up with to discuss career options and future. As well as the graduate recruiters based in London, who had organised several speaker and learning sessions, networking and social events. We were given a very clear timeline of events and deadlines.

The company allowed me to experience all lines of business to get a good High level knowledge and understanding of the business itself. There were online training portals that we could work through to gain a insight into the JP Morgan way.

As of yet, I still havent heard....I still have one week to go!

There were numerous events offered to us, some organised by the internship itself, but also amongst the other graduates/interns. This ranged from lunches/dinners, drinks, comedy events, BBQ, pub quizzes, cross office entertainments.

As a city, it was quite expensive. I travelled in everyday from quite a distance, so the commuting fees were very expensive

Edinburgh offers a huge night-life to suit all budgets and interests

There were many charity and sports activites advertised on the internal portal
