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?

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:

Final Thoughts

Mock Interviews:

What was Easter day like for you as a child?

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

Technical Setup:

- 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.

Have you had any paranormal activity situations happen personally to you or someone you know?

- 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).

Behavioral Preparation:

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

What is something brutally honest that needs to be said?

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

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

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

The Roman Empire at the time of Christ kept meticulous records. Why then, is there no record of the trial of Jesus?

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

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

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

Why has my ex moved on so fast after years of being together with me?

Types of Questions

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

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

Why does Nickelback, a popular Canadian alternative-rock band, receive so much hate? Is it because they are not considered "edgy" by some people?

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

Company Research:

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

Is it socially acceptable for individuals to wear clothing typically associated with the opposite gender? What are some reasons for or against this practice?

Preparation Tips

Behavioral Questions:

Review Technical Concepts:

What made Sally Field a standout choice for "Smokey and the Bandit" despite her reputation as a serious actress after "Sybil"?

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!
