Wish more internship videos were this transparent. Thank You

[@jawwad4020]

This was very informative and well organized! Imma follow your KZbin for more like this as your junior in CS. Thanks!

[@zionglover2473]

Outstanding video; production & content was flawless!

[@jaySosa1260]

Currently waiting to hear back from JPMC after my final round interview w/ them last week. Thanks for a very transparent and informative video!

[@barbaraa5538]

What is the process. I've been through the application, the 12 games, and the hirevue. Whats next?

[@jaySosa1260]

@@barbaraa5538 After the HireVue/CodeVue you should receive an invite to fill in a location preference survey that also has some other generic questions like transcript, reasons for location selection, etc. I think I got this invite after a week or maybe a little less after submitting my HireVue/CodeVue. Also, to give you some context, I submitted my application at the very end of October and had my final round interview on 12/10. Now I’m just waiting for the results... if they even reach back out to me.

Just got an offer for their fellowship program and I’m super excited. Great video! Very transparent and direct. I got my offer via phone but still haven’t got the oficial email. Hope yo get it as soon as possible! Thanks for sharing your experience

Great insights. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrFunktastical]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. I’m 40 years old and getting ready to retire from the Army after 22 years active duty. Stock market and finance are my passions and I want to Segway into a financial career with JP Morgan. I am very appreciative of the info you shared in this video because I believe it has helped me to understand the journey into apprenticeship better. 🤗

This is a software engineering role, nothing to do with finance.

[@epiksar]

I'm checking out this video after my offer to see what it's like. I got an offer in Houston for full-time. My process was different because a university professor referred me, so I only went through one 1-hour interview that consisted of mostly coding. I never even applied.

[@d_m5_]

is the coding portion of the interview screen recorded? I get nervous when people are watching me while I test/code.

[@epiksar]

I shared my screen live, but it was for a full-time position. They didn't ask me to test or run anything; it was just to see if I understood fundamental concepts. You should be fine, especially if you use an IDE that prepares template code and autocorrects for you. I used a simple editor and coded from scratch, so I was a lot more anxious about giving terrible code. I was an extended an offer, though.

[@TrashMouse]

Thanks for video, is that coin change question from leetcode?

[@RichardShu]

yup!

[@eNVy100]

It seems like it was more of a Data Engineer/Science experience. Is that field growing inside JPM?

[@RichardShu]

yup definitely!

[@MrFunktastical]

How does housing work on an internship? Do they provide housing or do you have to find your own?

[@RichardShu]

You have to find your own, but if you can't find an appartment, you can apply for NYU summer housing which works great!

[@hanschen3942]

Hi, I was considering which CS bachelor program I should choose between University of Toronto and University of Waterloo. could you give me some suggestions? By the way, I do not have much coding experiences, I only learn CS courses in my high school like some python courses and javascript courses. Can I learn CS well in university if I only have some basic programming skill?

[@RichardShu]

Not from Canada, so I have limited knowledge on the best schools, but I heard UWaterloo has an incredible co-op program which helps you secure 4-6 internships before you graduate, so I would definitely look into that! To answer your 2nd question, I don't think you need to have any CS background before entering university (I certainly didn't). Just pay attention in your data structures and algorithms courses, go to hackathons, LeetCode, and apply to internships early.

[@hanschen3942]

@@RichardShu Thanks man!

[@epiksar]

My reply is kind of late, but I personally wouldn't stress too much about the specific university and focus more on choosing the cheaper school. In my experience, the conversation around what university I went to rarely was ever mentioned. What was more important was that I studied CS somewhere and had an aptitude for thinking about code. Just focus on excelling and learning in the computer science program you choose. Anyway, I hope you've been successful these past months and good luck.

[@dapperblue6165]

U took down the JPM day in life video? Did they contact u saying they didn’t want the vid on KZbin?

[@RichardShu]

sadly yes 😥

[@s.anz_]

I am yet to give my HireVue interview. Any tips on how to prepare for that? It's my first interview of such a kind and I'm lost

[@RichardShu]

Prepare short answers to common questions and answer in STAR format. Some common questions are: - Greatest strength/weakness - Most challenging project / technical problem you've solved - A time you learned a new skill - A time you went above and beyond for a project - A bug you encountered and how you fixed it

[@crieverytim]

em.. ok. now do one on how to get accepted lol

[@RichardShu]

you could choose any language

[@dice35cp]

Richard Shu okay thanks!

[@1kike31]

Did you need to put your gpa on your resume?. Like is it important for internships??

[@RichardShu]

A general guideline is to only list your GPA if it's 3.0 or above. If your cumulative GPA isn't that great, you can also consider listing your major GPA in place of or next to your cumulative GPA. In the grand scheme of things, GPA isn't nearly as important as work experience or eye-catching project, but it definitely carries more weight for internships than full-time jobs.

[@epiksar]

My reply is late, but I agree with Richard. GPA hardly matters. Your aptitude for coding and personality are a lot more important than your GPA, even more so once you get experience under your belt. Good luck.

[@Liz2613]

Where did you stay? Did they pay for help with your hotel ?

[@RichardShu]

I subletted an apartment in Brooklyn near the NYU Tandon School of Engineering with 3 other friends. It's called AVA DoBro which added up to $975/month per person. And nah, they didn't give us corporate housing or a relocation bonus, but they did give us a $1,500 sign-on bonus which you can use for rent.
