The recent tragic death of a Bank of America associate sparked a much-needed conversation about the workload and well-being of junior bankers on Wall Street. In response to this, JPMorgan Chase has taken proactive steps to better manage the workload of their junior bankers by creating a new global role overseeing all junior bankers.
The firm named Ryland McClendon as its global investment banking associate and analyst leader to support the “well-being and success” of junior bankers. This move comes after JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon expressed concern over the long hours and demanding work culture in the industry.
In a recent financial conference at Georgetown University, Dimon criticized the inefficiencies and traditions that contribute to the grueling work schedules of junior bankers. He emphasized the importance of senior bankers taking responsibility for ensuring that junior bankers are not overworked and held accountable if they violate the policy.
