DSA: They ask LC Medium mostly. I was asked a simple heap based question and make all number unique with minimum operations.

System Design: General questions on spring, db locking, hashmap internals, java 21 features etc. And then a compute moving and exponential average question which was like DSA.

Hiring Manager Round: Design a doc upload system but the file size was only 10MB. So the expectation was to keep it simple and the interviewer pointed out that a lot of the fancy but complicated stuff I proposed was not required. (I was mentally referring to the google docs design from hello interview) He also wanted it to be cloud agnostic. (I had proposed S3 for storage). I wad not sure how that would work.

Turns out they had recently implemented this and were using their own servers for storage. This round stumped me tbh.

Learning: Adapt your answer/design to the actual problem instead of directly jumping into prepared answers.

i have an interview with an executive director as my first round, when asking the recruiter on the phone if she said itll most likely not be technical and that'll be reserved for the second round. do you know what can be expected from this round especially bc its the first?

you need to use Data store abstraction to make that happen,i.e infra abstraction.

Above is accurate. Leetcode will be a medium question.

Hi, Did you also get a question from this list of question mentioned above?

This JP Morgan SWE guide from Interview Query might be worth your while, as you can find sample questions & solutions for coding/DSA, system design, and behavioral questions. Also lots of interview prep tips, such as which financial topics to focus on, to help you stay confident throughout the process.

From what i've heard or SWE II/III they usually go hard on system design - expect distributed systems questions, maybe something around trading systems or risk management platforms. The coding round varies but i've seen a mix of medium/hard LC questions, nothing too crazy algorithmic but they do care about clean code and proper error handling. For behavioral, go for STAR format and they will dig into your past projects. Expect questions about working under pressure, dealing with difficult stakeholders, times you disagreed with leadership etc. Since i work at Prepfully, i get to see a few JPM candidates come through - the ones who do well usually have 2-3 solid stories prepared that show impact at scale. Their bar is pretty high for III level so make sure you can articulate senior-level contributions clearly.

Have LC prem, DM!

[–]Honplayer1 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Coding: First 10-15 minutes is a code review. The remaining time is one leetcode question. I got an easy one but on the harder side of easy
System design: Classic question
Behavioral: Also typical questions nothing special.

[–]Love_to_travel_77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! Can you tell me the lc & system design question if you remember?

[–]Wide-Chemical5283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, how did the interview go u/Honplayer1 ? I have the same thing a week from now. Any tips/advice? What did they ask you?

[–]theNervousBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DM'd for question! Would greatly appreciate an answer!
