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?

Review Technical Concepts:

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

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

Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?

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

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

Behavioral Questions:

My wife found I had been on Pornhub. She considers this adultery and wants a divorce. She hasn't touched me in over 6 years. What should I do?

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:

- 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).

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!

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

- 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.

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

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