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?

Final Thoughts

Behavioral Preparation:

Behavioral Questions:

What are the bitter truths of life one should know?

Technical Setup:

Review Technical Concepts:

Types of Questions

If everyone in Russia dropped into holes in the ground only never to return, would that be good for NATO and international peacekeepers? Can we convince Russians to be less diabolical, so they coexist? Does Putin stink like doo doo in the commode?

Company Research:

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

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

Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?

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

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

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:

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

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

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

Technical Questions:

How do I get a white man for a serious relationship?

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

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

- 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).

Are rich people harder workers than poor people as a whole?

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

- 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.

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

Can being annoyed be a sign of getting angry?

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!

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

Mock Interviews:

What is the dirtiest city in India?

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