  • 4. How valued do you feel by J.P. Morgan?
  • currently - not very as my role is not one I fit in - therefore the work I am given has been very basic and not enjoyable. In previous roles I have been given great tasks to get stuck into and have been given free reign to develop what I need to. My managers have always provided great appreciation for the work I do and have been great to me.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • training provider are only an email away - my skills coach is perhaps better at replying than others. Sometimes with other members from our skills provider you have to chase them up or copy in senior members of staff to get a speedy reply when booking exams etc. Tutors are all very good and always offer their email address if we need to contact them,

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Personally it meets me ok. However I feel if I had moved from home I would struggle to survive on this wage. Some of my colleagues do it and I appreciate it is a high level of money for an apprenticeship however I think after tax and rent (I pay £250 and have to pay for food at home) which probably costs £400 all together plus car expenses and gym etc there is not a lot left over at the end of the month for everything else. I appreciate also that there is a cap over what can be paid therefore I do not have an issue with the pay.

    9/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • Many company events, volunteering, travel opportunities, summer sports events, pub quizzes, Multiple opportunities to meet people from the firm such as career development opportunities

  • 9. Would you recommend J.P. Morgan to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Great recommendation, great way to get foot in the door without a degree, develops you as a person, I think my experience of multiple managers and uncertainty is not the usual one and therefore others would have a great time,


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to J.P. Morgan?
  • go in with an open mind, jump in with 2 feet, be confident, ask questions, know what you want to do,
