• JPMorgan has issued a stern warning to incoming analysts, stating they will be fired if they accept another job offer within 18 months of joining, reinforcing CEO Jamie Dimon’s view that such behavior is unethical. The policy, targeting a growing trend among U.S. grads, aims to protect the bank from conflicts of interest and confidential information leaks, while also making internal career advancement more attractive.

Wall Street veteran Jamie Dimon has made his opinion clear: Grads accepting an analyst role at JPMorgan but intending to leave for private equity within a few years is “unethical.”
