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?

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!

Preparation Tips

Technical Questions:

What is the difference between the terms "Millennials" and "kids"?

- 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.

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

Behavioral Preparation:

Why do I smell bad even though I have good hygiene?

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

Company Research:

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:

Is visiting holy shrines (dargahs) or graves haraam in Islam?

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

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

Behavioral Questions:

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

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

Final Thoughts

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

What is one fantasy you have never told anyone about but really want to do?

Mock Interviews:

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

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

Do you think Christine Lagarde will be headed and will be heading for success in the next French presidential elections starting as soon as 2027?

Review Technical Concepts:

Technical Setup:

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

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

- 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).

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

Types of Questions

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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

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