Interview
I have applied online. HR contacted me for a phone interview. Then someone called me for a phone interview. She had a phd in physics and biology related field. She was a nice person. It was a thirty minutes interview. There were three questions. I have not been able to get first, then she asked an easier question, I get it quickly, then she asked another difficult one.

Question 1
If you divide a stick into three pieces, what is the probability of being able to construct a triangle with the pieces?
I interviewed for the position of Quantitative Research Associate for three different desks at JPM. The HR/recruiting teams for each of these groups did not communicate well with themselves internally. In total I had 6 interviews with the wholesale credit team, 2 with their RAAS group, and 1 with their rates desk.
Eventually, I received an offer from their wholesale credit team for what I believed was a below market offer. When I attempted to negotiate, they came back saying this was the most they can do, and I walked away.
