Coding Technical
First, you'll do some HackerRank coding questions. These are to see if you can solve problems, know your data structures, and think algorithmically. If you pass that, you might get a HireVue interview. Then, the first technical round will be over Zoom, and they'll ask you technical math questions.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you describe problems involving probability, calculus, and linear algebra, such as calculating cumulative distribution functions (CDF), probability density functions (PDF), evaluating integrals, and determining correlation matrices?
- Can you walk me through a personal project at a high level, focusing on the key approaches used?

Coding Technical Behavioral
Applied 5 months ago and HR (JPM used a third-party company for this role) reached out and ignored all my emails asking about the interview process. Instead, they scheduled a 30-min Zoom call with a VP. The call went over an hour and what was supposed to be a resume review turned into coding questions (no whiteboard!), then math trivia without much notice. There was no cohesion between interviewers or HR.

- What are your math for pricing expectations?

Technical Coding Behavioral
I applied for a Quantitative Research Associate role across three teams at JPM. The recruiting teams weren't very coordinated. I ended up having 6 interviews with the wholesale credit team, 2 with RAAS, and 1 with rates. I got an offer from wholesale credit, but I thought it was low, and when I tried to negotiate, they said that was their best offer, so I declined.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Standard Python programming, statistics, and probability questions expected for this role.
- Can you explain what a decorator is and its usage?
- Please describe fundamental data structures and their respective applications.
