Hi All,
After ED round of interview I got a mail from HR asking to submit few documents. In the mail HR has mentioned that I'm one of the shortlisted candidate and final selection is yet to be made. So how are my chances of getting an offer.
Is it something common that happens in JPMC.

My therapist told me to do this:
(1) make a list of things you need from a job
(2) make a list of things the job you’re considering has
(3) compare, see what is there and what is missing
(4) decide if even is there that you can commit
You’ll never get a perfect idea because things are different in life than on paper but I think it’s a good staring point.
Hope that helps.
This is helpful! I typically do a similar type of pros/cons list when deciding to accept an offer.
As an ID attorney looking to leave ID and advance my practice expertise, I have a few questions/comments, which hopefully will help you in making your decision.
First, how many years have you been practicing/how many jumps have you made during those years? It sounds like you’ve been trying to exit ID for quite some time, and now a ripe opportunity has opened up, even if it’s not your dream firm. (If, however, the new firm is not going to assist in your career goals and WLB expectations, then run. Don’t add another short-term firm to your resume if you already have a bad feeling pre-job offer/acceptance.)
Next, how eager (or desperate) are you to get out of ID in general? Is there another area of law you would want to work in specifically, or are you open-minded to doing *anything* but ID at this point? For example, if more experience in litigation isn’t going to land you that in-house counsel role someday, perhaps you’d consider a switch to transactional work next. Alternatively, maybe you know you don’t like ID, but you’d like to stay in litigation generally and just aren’t certain what you’d like to practice since you haven’t been exposed to something new, yet.
If you’re simply burnt out from ID and have been seeking a practice-area, lateral move, I’d suggest staying away from interviewing for any ID firms and exclusively focus your applications/interviews on whatever other practice area(s) interest you most. If you’ve been interviewing for a while, and this is the only firm for which you’ve been give an opportunity to lateral, then I’d weigh the pros and cons of working for this new firm before committing, which I’m sure you’ve done or will do.
Of course, there’s no foolproof way to tell if your next firm will be your long-term (“forever”) firm (as most interviews are screened and deceptive to a degree these days), but if it will help you exit ID (alas) and gain new experience in a stronger, more promising (for you) practice area, then I’d say, “Go for it.”
What you choose to do has to be based on your subjective definition of success. There’s no guarantees. But, as long as you trust your gut and align your next move with your personal career goals, you’ll make the best decision for your near future at the very least.
Hope you found some insight in all that! Best of luck. And, please, don’t settle.
Why have you jumped around
First firm was hella toxic, second firm lied to be about the work I'd be doing
What’s the new gig?
I’m in employment law if you have any questions! Love it!
To a certain degree, Lit is an abstraction and the day to day WLB and how the partners manage you is more important than the practice area. My view at least. If the people you're working for are not nice, get out of there, but if a new place gives you weird vibes during interview process, no amount of interest in the work will make up for that.
