I applied through university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Campus)
Interview
My school was a core school for JPM Private Bank. The application was submitted through the university career center and interviews took place on campus. It was a single, 30 minute interview with two alums that both worked for the Private Bank. The process also included a reception the night before at a local restaurant.

Question 1
Not too many technical questions: how the markets did last year, what's going on in financial news, and tell me how you'd invest $50 million were probably as technical as it got. One that caught me a little off guard was to explain what equities/fixed income was pretending that the interviewer knew nothing about finance
Very simple. Three 25 minute interview. All behavioral expect for 2-3 market based questions. General about what you are following. Did ask follow up questions on the market question asking about specific terminology.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
Had 3, 30-minute interviews that were all the same. The interviews were very conversational; the interviewers truly just wanted to get to know me. Really, only got asked why JP, why Private Banking, and what have I seen in markets, then they would take it from there.
