So I am a 603 with no directs. There is a 602 in my org chart that is a rock star, I mean seriously. She was promoted to basically a senior 602 a year ago. I keep bringing her name up for a 603 promotion, but am told they need to be in the senior 602 role for two years before eligible for promotion. Is this true? Do orgs still do off cycle promotions? I am terrified of losing her and she had made more than enough impact to get to the next level. Any thoughts from those who have some more knowledge is appreciated!

So guys, here’s the situation I’ve cleared 5 long interview rounds at JPMC. Initially, the hiring manager discussed an offer of 60 LPA and was willing to match another offer, so now it’s around 64 LPA which is highest of the 4 offers I've in my hand..

At the same time, I also received an offer from a Poland-based company. They’re planning to sponsor my visa by the end of this year, and until then the pay would be around €6.5k/month.

I still haven’t decided which one to choose. Financially, JPMC looks solid, but I’ve always had aspirations to work abroad and experience that lifestyle as well.

Part of me feels I can always make it back to companies like JPMC later in my career, so I’m leaning a bit towards taking the international opportunity.

Just wanted to know .. does this sound like the right intuition, or am I overlooking something?

I recently completed a Superday interview and heard there might be another round afterward called the HR round. Is that usually true?

With how much unlimited access to tokens and overuse of AI. when can we expect layoffs to happen? does anyone have any insight from upper management?

with what happened at meta i assume it’s only a matter of time before it happens here.

Why do you guys continue to outsource?!? So frustrating calling the bank and speaking to someone who doesn’t understand and reads off of a script. Why??? 😭 I can’t get any help!! This outsourcing has to stop.

Over the last few years, global corporate culture has aggressively pushed a new narrative: "Bring your whole self to work." They host mental health webinars, encourage managers to ask about your personal struggles, and create "safe spaces" for vulnerability.

It sounds progressive. It is actually an intelligence-gathering operation.

Here is the dark, unspoken reality of corporate psychology: The system demands predictability and resilience. When you sit in a 1-on-1 and confess that you are struggling with burnout, anxiety, or personal issues, you think you are building trust. Management, however, is quietly updating your risk profile.

You haven't gained empathy; you have just handed them the exact reason to quietly remove you from the fast track.

When the next massive project or promotion comes up, the boardroom conversation won't be about your skills. It will be: "They’ve been dealing with a lot of stress lately, let’s not overwhelm them with this promotion." They will disguise your career stagnation as "caring for your well-being." Furthermore, during the next round of layoffs, those who openly display vulnerability are often the first to be cut under the guise of "they were struggling anyway."

Your workplace is a transactional environment, not a therapist's office. The corporation is not your confidant.

The Rule of Emotional Asymmetry: Never give corporate management emotional data they can use to calculate your breaking point. Maintain a curated, professional armor. If you need to break down, do it with your real friends, your family, or a licensed professional—never on a Teams call with HR.
Protect your peace by protecting your privacy.

Hi all — does anyone have insight into the GSS (Global Supplier Services) space at JPM? Specifically curious about: Typical base pay range for a VP level

•	How bonus structure generally works (is it discretionary, formula-based, etc.)

•	Any sense of how the group is viewed internally / comp vs. other divisions

Hey guys, I have an in person interview with JP Morgan Chase for an entry level position credit card specialists I and I’m kinda nervous. I did the phone interview and now in person tomorrow. Can you give me any tips on what to expect, questions they may ask and anything else to prepare for? Thanks for any help.

Most of my friends either live too far or everyone becomes lazy after office/weekends 😭

So thought — why not meet new people instead. If anyone else is going alone or wants to join, hit me up 🤝

We can plan a meet-up or any activity.

My current ctc is 20 base as an sde2 in cib tech

When joined had 2.4 yrs of experience, just 5 months in.

What is the range offered at my experience here?

Location- Mumbai Office

Thanks

Lorna Hajdini, the JPMorgan investment banker who was accused of sexual assault, countersued on Tuesday, saying the AI-generated memes and coverage of the lurid allegations have made her life “a daily, living nightmare.”

In a suit against her former colleague, Chirayu Rana, Hajdini said his allegations were entirely fabricated, have caused her mental harm and resulted in her losing a volunteering job. She is suing him for defamation and “malicious prosecution.”

“Plaintiff deliberately crafted a salacious narrative designed to achieve maximum press coverage and inflict maximum pain; unfortunately, it has succeeded despite its falsity,” the countersuit said. “Plaintiff’s false, malicious, and bad faith statements have wreaked havoc on Ms. Hajdini’s life.”

She also claimed that Rana’s attacks on her were part of a “common pattern and scheme” he had advanced at other employers, though she didn’t name a specific firm. He has worked at a litany of well-known firms on Wall Street, including Morgan Stanley, Carlyle Group and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management. 

Rana had originally filed a lawsuit on April 27 under the pseudonym “John Doe,” alleging that Hajdini had sexually harassed and assaulted him for months. The graphic detail in its allegations and quotations that it claimed Hajdini said went viral on social media, including “If you don’t f—me soon, I’m going to ruin you…Never forget, I f—ing own you,” and “If you don’t f—my brains out tonight, I’m going to sabotage your promotion.”

Daniel Kaiser, a lawyer for Rana, didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. He has previously said that “we look forward to the truth and facts coming to light through court proceedings.”

JPMorgan said in a statement that “we fully support Lorna and her right to defend herself and protect her reputation. As we’ve said from the outset, we don’t believe the allegations against her or the firm have merit.”

Hajdini’s lawyers had denied the allegations from the start. JPMorgan has said the bank conducted an internal investigation after Rana filed a complaint and found them not credible. The bank still offered him a $1 million payout, but Rana rejected the settlement and went public, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Rana’s allegations were a hot topic across Wall Street and social media for weeks, as many observers doubted they were truthful. In her countersuit, Hajdini says the public reaction took a toll on her life and she has received threats to her personal safety. 

She started at JPMorgan in 2011 and had never been the subject of a harassment complaint, the suit said. Rana’s lawsuit has resulted in lasting damage to her career, Hajdini’s suit said.

“Ms. Hajdini and members of her family have been mocked, ridiculed, and harassed around the clock, with Ms. Hajdini serving as the ongoing focal point of countless jokes, memes, and AI-generated images and videos of a persistently vile, degrading, and sexual nature—all a direct consequence of Plaintiff’s lies,” the suit said.

What is considered a favorable # for manager effectiveness? I have always been well into the 90% range. This year, seemingly had a few haters which was a little surprising. Curious to get some thoughts out here.

Hello, I’ll give a quick rundown of the situation I’m in. Back in November 2025 I disputed some purchases from an order I never received. Couple of days later I got a letter in the mail saying Chase was ending my banking relationship because of those claims. While I do still maintain a credit card relationship with them I desperately want to get the banking relationship back with Chase. And yes I know, I can take my business elsewhere, but I genuinely loved Chase, there’s a Chase bank walking distance from my house. There’s always a Chase bank wherever I travel here in the US, also I did have an account at Wells Fargo and they were awful, so was Huntington bank. I do have an account at my local credit union but they definitely aren’t Chase. I currently have a citigold Private client account but I would rather have that money at JP Morgan Private client and my banking relationship mostly be at Chase/JP Morgan. Please if there’s anyone who could help or tell me who to talk to I’ll be grateful appreciate it. Thank you!!

My ED pulled me into a room and told me I would now be reporting into one oh his other VPs within his org. He explicitly said this is a firm-wide initiative where VPs who manage small teams are going to be collapsed into other VP teams. My team is small but I manage an entire business. No other VPs or teams work in my area. Anyway, I told him this feels like a demotion despite consistent ratings of S/S/O. Now any hope of promotion cannot happen until my new, less experienced VP, who manages a completely different team (no synergies), gets promoted. Every win for me will got my VP. He is stealing my thunder.
Anyway, fast forward 8 months; not one other team has been reshuffled the way my team has. I know a lot of people at JP. Nobody has heard of this. Other VOs they manage small teams have the same org chart before/after.
Clearly this was a lie. I’m so confused and so angry. I’m shut out of decision making. I’m one level removed from everything now.
I’ve been there 15+ years. Not one bad review. Not one complaint. I’ve been managing for 10 of those years. I need to go to HR. Do I use the hotline? Call HR?
Has this happened to anyone else?

I am a new hire at Chase and have enjoyed working there. I was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age making it harder and take longer for me to read material. I have worked many jobs in the past that did not require as much reading so it never bothered me too much. I have been working here for a month and have felt the stress of being monitored while working and having dyslexia getting to me and I feel I am underperforming. I did not disclose in the application I had dyslexia (for many reasons) and I need to know how to properly navigate seeking accommodations if possible to help me or if anyone has any tips on what I can do on my own. I am an associate banker btw.
I am apprehensive to tell my manager up front and don't want it to turn into a reason to fire me since I very much need this job.

I just submitted application to the role 2 levels below my current grade. Because this is the team I’d love to join but I may lack some experience.

Just wondering is it even possible to hire a candidate to different grade than original posting if HM is happy with the candidate..?

I know headcount needs to be approved not sure how flexible the grade can be changed.

Hello! I’m a banker and my manager seems to get annoyed over the smallest decision i make that i feel are best for my clients. For starters he doesn’t like when we open up accounts for people who don’t have a “legitimate” reason to bank with chase (they just want a notary, or to cash checks, or exchange large bills) and expects us to turn them away… is this allowed?

also they get annoyed whenever my business clients are ready and willing to do large transactions (limit increases, mortgages, loans) and i go through my BRM instead of business direct…

by me going and doing what i feel i best for the client and hot leads am i cutting. into my managers numbers and thus their bonus? or are they simply trying to control everything?

I recently joined JPMC in India and I am subjected to PAD. I don't have a trading account and I only deal with open ended mutual funds. My father has a trading account and often deals with stocks. I dont have a say in what stocks he buys and sells and he uses his own money but we stay together. Will he be subjected to PAD as well?

My wife is a Spanish teacher and has taught for a few years managing like 100 plus students at some times but wants to leave teaching to maybe work here. She’s considering something a little lighter and would like a “boring job”. She thought about maybe an executive assistant.

Any thoughts on if her background could qualify as well as what the job is like? Also assuming you typically work under an MD, you’ll have to be under the same office as them?
