What is J.P. Morgan's interview process?
JPMorganChase describes four steps: explore, apply, interview and decision. It says the interview process differs for each position, and that you can expect to meet several people over multiple rounds (JPMorganChase, How we hire, checked November 1, 2026).
Its hiring FAQ adds what the rounds can include (JPMorganChase, How we hire FAQ, checked November 1, 2026):
- Assessments. Examples it gives are structured live interviews, on-demand or recorded interviews, and virtual skills assessments. You're told if the role you applied to needs one.
- Recorded video interviews. For some roles, an on-demand interview presents questions and records your answers, to assess things like verbal presentation or technical ability. You need a camera and microphone, and you get a set window to record. How recorded interviews work →
- Studying abroad. You can still apply; if you're picked for an interview, it's by video over Zoom.
- Background. JPMorganChase says it welcomes students from all academic backgrounds, so a finance major isn't required.
Its student site also lists eight "Early Insight (pre-internship)" programs worldwide (JPMorganChase, Programs, checked October 29, 2026).
What is the J.P. Morgan superday format in 2026?
JPMorganChase doesn't publish a fixed superday agenda. What it does document, as of November 1, 2026, is that the final stage is live interviews with several people, and that the format varies by position. Plan for a few back-to-back conversations that mix behavioral and technical questions.
Three things are on the record for 2026:
- Multiple interviewers, multiple rounds. JPMorganChase says to expect several people across more than one round, and that it is hiring "the whole person", not only a skill set.
- Live, structured interviews. Its FAQ lists structured live interviews among its standard assessments, next to recorded interviews and skills tests.
- Video is possible. Candidates who are abroad interview by Zoom, so a virtual final round is something to be ready for.
