Palpable Score

77.6

/ 100

Jump Trading provides strong early-career access for technical candidates through recurring campus internships and new-grad hiring across quant, research, and engineering tracks. Learning support and pay are standout strengths, but hiring transparency is capped by demanding assessments and limited published expectations on timelines and feedback. Early-career outcomes look positive in sentiment and progression signals, yet Jump Trading does not publish cohort-level conversion, promotion, or retention metrics.
