A day in the life of a JP Morgan intern

By and large, any student who has their sights on working at a major bank must complete a summer internship first. They are an opportunity for students to test out the profession, and for the firm to scout for its future employees.

In 2015, Business Insider had 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 was one of hundreds of interns who work at the investment bank every summer, and who follow essentially the same programme, 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 JP Morgan for when they finish studying - becoming high-flying and highly-paid investment bankers in the process.

This is how Sophie's day went.
