I got to the second round of phone interviews. Both lasted about 60 minutes. The questions were purely technically oriented, apart from an ordinary questions of talking the person through your CV. They test three topics, which are stochastic calculus, finance and programming. The programming questions were about C++, but if you are familiar with Python you can also expect questions about that.

I interviewed for the position of Quantitative Research Associate for three different desks at JPM. The HR/recruiting teams for each of these groups did not communicate well with themselves internally. In total I had 6 interviews with the wholesale credit team, 2 with their RAAS group, and 1 with their rates desk. Eventually, I received an offer from their wholesale credit team for what I believed was a below market offer. When I attempted to negotiate, they came back saying this was the most they can do, and I walked away.
