Day in the Life Of An Associate | Our People | J.P. Morgan

My name is Sonal,
and I am an associate

in the Corporate
and Investment Bank.

I am a part of the
Credit Risk Team.

My department undertakes
annual reviews,

monitoring clients that
the bank has lent out to.

Just to make sure that
we, as an organization,

are still comfortable
with that lending.

I have been with
the same department

for the last five years,

but just because you are
working in the same department

doesn't mean you are
doing the same role.

I worked with the
Diversified Team,

the Telecom Media
and Technology Team,

and I'm leading the Real Estate
and the Transportation Team.

This is not all just luck.

I had a conversation with my
manager about how I would

like more responsibilities
to manage a team.

I think you have done
a fantastic job last time,

the campus
presentation.

Thank you.

My manager said
that you need to be

the absolute best
at what you do.

And if you do that, then we
will make sure that you achieve

what you want
to achieve.

And that's what I did.

From a young age, my true
passion has been dancing.

As soon as music plays,
my feet start tapping.

I am a trained classical dancer.

Every single weekend, I spend
about three or four hours,

just dancing the Bharatanatyam,

which is an Indian
classical dance.

It's not to everyone's taste,
but to me it is pure honey.

I know that I am just one small
part of the organization,

and my contribution might
be a drop in the ocean,

but that drop is important.

I matter.

I'm an essential part
of this organization.

My managers
convinced me of that.

The people around me
convinced me of that.

The work that I do
convinces me of that.

I matter to J.P. Morgan as much
as J.P. Morgan matters to me.
