We’ve hired a number of ex-JETs in the past (I joined 3 years ago after my term as a CIR; some have been here much longer), so I we wanted to let you know about this opportunity here with us.

I’ve included some job details and other information below.

Any interested parties please submit your resumes to Eugene Roussin (eugene.roussin@jp.kpmg.com) and Thomas Arnot (thomas.arnot@jp.kpmg.com) as soon as possible.
