I managed to secure an interview for JP Morgan Chase. This is for Asset & Wealth Management Global Private Bank Analyst program 2023. I ask my recruiter and he revealed me some info. This is a single interview session of 2 hours before getting any offer. I will face 5 interviewers. This will be all behavioral. For people who got into JP Morgan Chase, do you have any tip for me to pass this interview for this entry level role? JPMorgan Chase
brb...applying for a new role
I got through all the rounds of interviews (including 2 technical panels) at CrowdStrike before being assured that I was nearing the end of the process and was expected to receive an offer soon… almost two weeks ago now? Anyone else experienced this kind of delay from CS or similarly sized organizations? Did I get ghosted? Anything more I should be doing?

Tell me about an interesting legal issue you have studied/worked on? I want to see if someone can talk fairly intelligently and succinctly about a legal issue and why it’s interesting.

Your CDO likely has a list. I’d ask, but just use your normal list of questions when interviewing.
I’ve always liked the: “what would you do if you were give a million dollars and had to spend it within seven days - you canning pay debt. You cannot invest or save it, and you cannot donate it.”
It catches interviewees off guard and you learn a lot from them. Especially as it pertains to this field.
I’d have to echo TL1. This question opens the door to implicit bias, too. Example being: Candidates from underprivileged backgrounds may have different responses to others who are accustomed to larger sums of money at their disposal. It’s no wonder some interviewees are caught off guard.
What’s the most difficult specific problem/challenge you’ve had to deal with working as a member of a team, and how did you solve/handle it?
Faced a potential Armageddon scenario in the middle of major litigation involving internal team strife; brokered a solution that managed to keep the engine running until a positive case outcome.
I still love the standard "tell me about something that you'd like to be better at or improve on." Really helps me get an idea of what they think success or being a good lawyer looks like, and what holes they think they need to fill to get there
What kind of law do you want to practice? What was your favorite and least favorite class? What questions do you have for me? The last one is often the most revealing.

“Tell me something about yourself not on your resume. “
It is interesting how often people stumble on that question as if their resume tells their entire life.
I ask everyone to tell me what tools they use to organize their work day. Email, to list, apps on the phone, paper planner, etc. If they can articulate a routine/system for how they get stuff done in the personal life and current job position, it gives me some insight to how well they can keep up with and manage the speed and volume of complex litigation.
