Every major investment bank offers an internship program — it's an opportunity for students to test out the profession and for the firm to scout future employees.
We got the opportunity to follow Sophie, a University of Cambridge economics student, as she went through a day of her 10-week summer analyst internship.
She's one of hundreds of interns working at the investment bank during the university holidays, who are essentially following the same program, whether they're in London, Hong Kong or New York.
If previous years are anything to go by, a majority of the summer intake will be offered positions at JPMorgan for when they finish studying, becoming high-flying and highly paid investment bankers.
This is how Sophie's day went.
It's an early start. Sophie has to be at her desk at 6:30 a.m., in London's Canary Wharf.
JPMorgan's London headquarters is this 31-story tower on Bank Street. The bank bought the tower in 2010 — it had previously belonged to Lehman Brothers.
Sophie, the intern we're following, works in global equity sales. She's there for 10 weeks this summer, having completed other internship periods at the bank already. The desk essentially sells shares from around the world to largely UK-based clients.
