JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Software Engineering Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

One of the highlights of this internship was working in NYC. When I visited NYC for the first time, I told my mom that one day I want to work in NYC. It would be so cool. And, here I am. I did it. Besides, I honestly liked the culture and the internship program at JP Morgan. Everyone was so welcoming and wanted to hear what I have to say about what could be done and what how would I do it if I was given an opportunity. I also got to learn a lot about the corporate world, which I had no experience at all.

What I wish was different

I wish my team members were given remote access to our desktops.

Advice

Don't underestimate yourself; you can achieve anything you want! If I were hesitated by the belief of "small fish big pond," I would have missed a great opportunity. I was never looking for any specific industry to work in, but I wanted to part of something big and cutting-edge. So, don't narrow down your goals too quickly. It's time to explore. Also, working at JPMC has been an excellent experience for me, so much better than I ever could have imagined! JPMC is indeed a tech-friendly company and is making significant advancements in doing so (ex: AI/ML, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing).

Corporate Analyst

June - August 2019 • Newark, DE

What I liked

This was a wonderful internship. It was through JPMorgan Chase & Co Corporate Analyst Development Program, which offered a structured path throughout the summer in the form of networking events, recruiter check-ins, mentorship, in addition to plenty of communication and ways to be involved in the company. Everyone who I met over the summer was helpful and really wanted me to feel my best at the company. My manager and team wanted me to succeed and were extremely helpful, which I appreciated.

What I wish was different

Advice

This is a very rigorous internship. The work you are doing during the summer is not busy work and, depending on your team, you will be involved in a lot of team meetings, events, and projects. Be prepared, but it is so rewarding at the end of the day!

What I liked

I really enjoyed the corporate experience and the opportunities they gave me to learn and take initiative.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time to progress even further and get more notable roles (such as presenting or something along those lines).
