When you join J.P. Morgan, your earnings will be at the upper end of the salary range for new graduates, and you'll also enjoy a range of other benefits, such as medical aid and provident fund.

Although we do pay well, there are other careers and business sectors in which you could earn just as much, and probably with less effort. This is why it's important for us to be clear about what we mean by meritocracy. Essentially, you get out what you put in. As you develop and your contribution grows, so does your earning power. Pay rises with performance, as well as promotion. Success therefore will bring substantial rewards, but you will earn them! As a graduate trainee, you will be eligible for performance-based bonuses and annual increases.

This is why we invest so much in creating working environments and support systems that make life easier for people who are putting a lot into work. We also understand that your needs and priorities will change through the different stages of your professional and personal life. For example, our Employee Assistance Programme will help you balance the demands of, work, family and health. It's all part of a practical commitment to looking after the people who look after our business.

J.P. Morgan believes that one of the best investments is training its people - by creating training opportunities and ensuring that you will develop to your full potential, both personally and professionally.
