Maybe this is a silly question, but how far in advance of your planned departure date do you start interviewing? I want to leave mid June, and I’d like to start interviewing in May but don’t know how likely it is that they will be flexible and delay my start a whole month

You’re that confident that you’ll have the right job offer and get through all steps of an interview process right in 2 weeks, leaving that extra month you’re worried about?

Interviewing can take a very long time. I started looking in April/may and started my new job in August. Got 2 offers right around the same time and had interviewed at 3 different places. I think you should start ASAP.

Took me almost 5 months to finish the interview process.... but it was the dream job and actually worked out. So start to look once you're ready.

You should start interviewing when you are ready to put your two weeks in. You can’t really predict when you’re gonna get a offer… some firms also are slower than others or have a longer interviewing process. My current company likes to have start classes so all new hires from any department will do orientation together on set dates. For me this meant my start date was a month from my offer, but other places like you to start ASAP.

Hi Fishes,

I have worked as a contingent employee in JPMC in one of their project.
After how many days can I apply for a permanent role with them ?JPMorgan Chase

In my offer letter, nothing is mentioned about variable pay, but the recruiter had mentioned to me about 0-12% variable. Am I missing anything. Do they have any variable component in the salary or not.

I cleared all my rounds of interview in JPMC, had salary discussion with HR 2 weeks back. After which i was asked to apply the job on candidate portal and submit additional information.

Its almost 2 weeks and i haven't heard back anything from them. My status in portal shows "You are moving to the final steps in the process". This status has not changed since last 2 weeks.

Can i expect the offer letter to be released? If yes when?

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.
