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?

Behavioral Preparation:

Review Technical Concepts:

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:

How can someone in your family purposely try to destroy your reputation?

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

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

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

Is it possible for humans to determine their past life as an animal? Is there a scientific method to prove this?

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

- 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.

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!

How do people develop stage 4 cancer without noticing until it’s too late?

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

Technical Setup:

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

What would happen if the Soviet Union had simply annexed Manchuria after World War 2 or kept it independent as a puppet state allied them and separate from China as China was too weak too oppose it anyway?

- 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).

Preparation Tips

Mock Interviews:

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

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

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

Types of Questions

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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

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

Final Thoughts

Can you explain the difference between fissionable and fissile materials and their role in nuclear power reactors?

Technical Questions:

Behavioral Questions:

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

What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?

Company Research:

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