Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

- Understand common design patterns and principles if system design questions are likely.

Congratulations on clearing the coding round! For a video interview with JP Morgan, you can expect a mix of technical and behavioral questions. Here’s a breakdown of what to anticipate and how to prepare:

Company Research:

How did you become popular in school?

- Familiarize yourself with JP Morgan’s values, recent news, and their technology initiatives. This will help you tailor your answers and show genuine interest.

Technical Setup:

- Teamwork and Collaboration: Questions about past experiences working in teams, resolving conflicts, or contributing to group projects.

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

- Data Structures and Algorithms: You may be asked to solve problems related to arrays, strings, linked lists, trees, graphs, and algorithms (sorting, searching, dynamic programming).

Final Thoughts

- Prepare for the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your responses to behavioral questions.

What does 'Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys’ mean (Ezekiel 23:20)?

Preparation Tips

Behavioral Questions:

Types of Questions

My boss called me on a Saturday to let me know he that due to financial reasons, I was no longer needed effective immediatley. 3 days later, he sends me a text asking about work issues. How do I respond?

- Focus on articulating your thought process clearly while solving problems.

Behavioral Preparation:

Be confident, stay calm, and remember to ask questions at the end of the interview to show your interest in the role and company. Good luck!

Did the Sumerians, Babylonians and, other Mesopotamians create more, influence more and, were more advanced than Egypt?

- Brush up on key data structures and algorithms. Use platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeSignal to practice coding problems.

- System Design: For more senior positions, you might face questions on designing systems or explaining the architecture of applications.

Mock Interviews:

How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?

- Reflect on your past experiences, focusing on key projects, challenges, and successes that demonstrate your skills and fit for the role.

Technical Questions:

- Coding Challenges: You may be asked to code live during the interview using a shared document or coding platform. Be prepared to explain your thought process and approach.

Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

- Conduct mock interviews with friends or use platforms like Pramp or Interviewing.io to simulate the interview experience.

Review Technical Concepts:

- Motivation and Interest: Why you want to work at JP Morgan, your understanding of the company culture, and how your goals align with theirs.

Can Donald Trump use the Alien Friends Act of 1798 to give ALL illegal immigrants an ultimatum: You have 1 month to leave America, after which you will be arrested and jailed for 3 years?

- Problem-Solving: Situational questions that assess how you approach challenges, make decisions, and learn from failures.

- Ensure your technology works (camera, microphone, internet connection) and choose a quiet, well-lit space for the interview.
