I'm a software guy, thinking of trying to join the team. Basically my questions to you subject matter experts are: Am I stupid? Is there a high demand for developers at JPM currently? Are there layoffs on the horizon?
Bonus information while selecting benefits
There were a couple of posts last year stating that we could see our bonus while enrolling for benefits. Just wondering if anyone can still see it this year. If yes, would appreciate it if you could share some pointers on where exactly to find it. — read more
Return to JPMC
Is it hard to get a job at JPMC again after quitting? I quit a little less than half a year ago and would come back, but I don't believe it will be easy or that I would get the same pay I had when I left. I know that I will mostly get advice here not... — read more
Unfortunately, I think this is widespread?
In my group, we have tons of job openings "that we can't fill" but yet we aren't allowed to make offers to actually hire anyone. It's as if they want this illusion. I seriously don't understand. Many have departed of their own accord. Then we were... — read more
Are cuts happening any time soon?
It's been a bit quiet on that front, does anybody know if anything is brewing?
Just another day of Bribery at the company
https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/exclusive-jpmorgan-faces-oil-bribery-probe-brazil-2021-09-22/ The rap sheet on this criminal enterprise is a mile long. Serious question, how are we still allowed to operate as a bank?
Reg F
Wondering, with the future mass reduction in calls due to Reg F, will that create a large layoff in Collections. Anyone heard anything?
How do you deal with the bullying?
I've never seen a company with so much of it. Politics as well. Wondering how you navigate all of it without getting sui-idal.
PIP
If you are put on a PIP does that mean you're as good as gone?
Internal or external job status
I applied for an internal role and was basically told that the job was mine…all of sudden my job status is “your submission is in progress” my assumption is that means o didn’t get the role..does anyone know what this means?

I don't know if this kind of stress is worth it anymore
What is the most stressful part about working at Chase for you? I’ve been getting more and more easily irritated lately because I’m under tremendous stress. The job has certainly always been stressful, but micromanagement has been leading me to... — read more
Training replacements
Is it possible that people here often don’t want to give the most important details and teach their potential replacements the best they can????? I understand that there is resentment behind that, but the people who are there as replacements are not... — read more
What to do?
If you find out you are being underpaid compared to your colleagues who are doing the same job and have roughly the same experience, are there any steps to take to rectify that? How safe is it to ask for a raise and not risk getting your name on the... — read more
Just stop complaining
Double standard. While privileged employees who want to work from home complain about having to go into work there are many employees that have no choice and have to go in. There are many employees that work at (and drive to) MetroTech AND... — read more
Google, Amazon, and Apple still WFH
So why does JPMC feel the need to have people back in the office? Perhaps they want to experience some attrition so they don’t have to RIF and deal with severance pay out? Have they not yet realized that some of the intelligent talent will be the... — read more
Do you manage to have a work-life balance?
There is no balance here, unfortunately. Chase was never a place where work-life balance was respected. I don’t know if Chase is the worst bank when it comes to that issue, but it’s certainly the bank where I’ve personally been the least successful... — read more
How does going to a smaller bank affect resumes?
Someone mentioned that they recommend going to a smaller bank, where there is a lot less stress. I was thinking about that too. However, I used to work in a much smaller bank. I took the job at Chase very seriously because I considered it a great... — read more
JPM is bad, but what's better?
Honestly, name one bank it would be worth transferring to?
Why are they asking us to go back with 168k cases a day!
They’re estimated to go up to 300k daily. It’s insanity that we’re being asked back into the office. September was sounding good when the numbers were low, it’s time now to pivot.
Compensation when got infected in office
Anyone knows will the firm held responsible for getting COVID in office ? I heard someone already got infected in one of the locations
The Great Resignation
Went back to the office before new rotation in September/hated it. Sitting in that cubicle was depressing and the people, uggggh! Some don't know to respect their surroundings. Last day will be August 31
Trying to secure the job by doing extra work?
I know, I know, there is no such thing as a secure job, however, that still doesn’t mean that people aren’t trying to figure out a way to secure a job. From what I read here, I seem to be in a minority doing extra work without expecting any reward... — read more
Chase layoffs announced today
True or false? I am not with the company.
Jamie is fed up with Zoom calls and WFH yet........
the company is installing new zoom and video equipment in our office, at all desks (yes, we are back in the office). We have been told it will be mandatory to use and we can not close the camera lens or point it in a different direction. Jamie hates... — read more
Salary for VP Project managers in Plano?
Applying to a few positions, wondering what to expect. Are there specific lines of business that are more mature in their PM methodologies? What about LOBs that pay more than others?
Criminal Activity I’ve learned and have knowledge of
I have personal knowledge of, emails, taped conversations. Been at the bank 13 years, current salary is about 340k with bonus. I'm late 40's and would like to retire in the next 5-7 years. As I see things I have 3 choices I could escalate... — read more
Why is it bad for Chase if employees WFH?
No one has answered that yet. Is it really bad for Chase if employees work from home and why? Or going back to the office still has to do with that Suzy Sunshine culture that someone mentioned in the previous thread? If I don't come to the... — read more
Raises
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/29/business/wall-street-pay-jpmorgan/index.html First year analysts will be making 100k a year. Any news on adjusting current employee salaries?
Will productivity decline?
I can't work in the office anymore. I will constantly think about whether someone will come infected with the virus. It creates a lot of pressure and anxiety for me and I find it hard to concentrate on work. For this reason, I will be much less... — read more
Covid cases in office?
Has there been any confirmed cases from people going in office? If so, was everyone made aware and did they shut down the office or kept it BAU?
Firm forcing employees to install apps
The firm now requires employees to install an app in our phones to monitor us. Nothing screams big brother is watching as this. But it makes sense since we don’t trust the firm anyway so why would they trust us, right ?
Joining Company, WFH Culture?
Hello all. I am thinking about joining the company - what is it like there for a remote culture? I want to WFH. I am in the risk business line.
So many people want out
There was always attrition, but this is something else. Nearly everybody I know wants to leave. Some are looking for a new job, others are praying to be laid off... I'm not sure what's causing this level of dissatisfaction. Am I the only one who... — read more
Why must I be Suzy sunshine for ab administrative assistant role?
I am not outgoing and I don't like social events. I do my job and do it well, but why do they expect admins to have outgoing personalities and also play the mom to everyone? I have been an admin for a while and this isn't always what it used to... — read more
If you are older, your prospects here are not good
Every new round of cuts proves this further. It seems that older employees with higher pay are specifically targeted. Yes, younger employees are included as well but that seems more like a precautionary measure to avoid age discrimination lawsuits... — read more
