Introduction
I'm a backend software engineer with 2.5 years of experience, specializing in Java, Spring Boot, MySQL, MongoDB, and Kafka. I recently went through the interview process at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMC), and I'd like to share my experience.

Interview Process Overview
The process kicked off with an online assessment, followed by four main interview rounds. Each round was an elimination round.

Online Assessment
The online assessment consisted of two medium-level coding questions to be solved within an hour:

A problem involving HashMap.
A 2D dynamic programming problem.

Round 1: Data Structures & Algorithms
Format: HackerRank test in the presence of the interviewer.
Questions: Medium to hard level DSA questions.
Experience: The interviewer was helpful, providing directions and hints. I recall one of the questions from LeetCode: "Given an m x n binary matrix filled with 0's and 1's, find the largest square containing only 1's and return its area." I was able to solve both questions.

Round 2: System Design Round 1 (1 Hour)
Task: Convert a monolithic architecture into a microservices architecture.
Method: Complete design creation on HackerRank with explanations to the interviewer.
Additional Questions: Basic Java questions focusing on streams and functional interfaces, alongside system design queries.

Round 3: Technical Project Discussion (30 Minutes)
Task: Analyze and find mistakes in a Java code provided on HackerRank, suggest improvements, and answer simple Spring Boot questions.
Approach: Identifying errors and proposing solutions.

Round 4: Hiring Manager Round.
Focus: Discussion about previous work experience and presence of mind.
Questions: "Why JPMC?", leadership skill-related scenarios, and resolving conflicts with a manager.

Final Step: HR Round
Outcome: Congratulations and discussion of offer details and expectations.

Suggestions
Preparation: Be genuine in your responses and dedicated to your preparation.
Mindset: Maintain authenticity throughout the interview process.
