Until recently, JPMorgan Chase was two firms: JP Morgan, known for credit derivatives, fixed-income, and loan syndication, and Chase Manhattan, the third-largest commercial bank, which also has a burgeoning investment banking unit. At the outset, analysts hailed the merger as a winner. Of course, a string of problems have caused a few setbacks for the banking conglomerate. But, that said, this company is going nowhere—it is the second-largest financial services company in the U.S. So, if you relish the thought of lots of responsibility and you’re willing to play by traditional rules and put up with some bureaucracy, JPMorgan Chase could be the right place for you to build a long and lucrative career.
