I applied through university. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan
Interview
I applied for the quant role , primarily because of my interest in finance and did not know much about coding(knew basics of C and C++). There were two rounds of interviews, i cleared the first round and did not get through the second round primarily due to lack of coding skills.
