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?

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

Technical Questions:

Technical Setup:

Why do many Hong Kong Chinese look different from the Han Chinese in mainland China?

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

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

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

What is your favourite summer outfit? Why?

Behavioral Preparation:

- 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.

Behavioral Questions:

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?

- 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).

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

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!

In Italy, how do people greet each other when they meet for the first time (e.g., on the street)? What's a good response to that greeting if you're not from Italy or don't speak Italian fluently yet?

Company Research:

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

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Final Thoughts

Preparation Tips

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:

Have you ever had sex with your mother-in-law? If so, how was it and did your wife ever find out?

Types of Questions

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

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

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

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

Review Technical Concepts:

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

Why aren't there any Indian girls married to Chinese guys but Chinese girls married to Indian guys?

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