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:

Mock Interviews:

Preparation Tips

Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

- 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.

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

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

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.

Behavioral Preparation:

Final Thoughts

Review Technical Concepts:

Why do people believe that global warming is man made?

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

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

Technical Setup:

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

- 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.

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

Do the British people realize how much American people absolutely despise them?

Types of Questions

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

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?

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

Technical Questions:

Company Research:

Why all the fuss about Trump’s policy initiatives? Isn’t he just trying to set a moral tone for the Republican Party to make America great again?

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

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!

- 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 most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

- 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).

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