Do not deliver a company encyclopedia
For this 2027 JP Morgan Video Interview prompt, a catalogue of facts can hide the most important thing: your judgment. A strong response gives the interviewer a clear reason to care, then proves that you follow the subject actively rather than casually.
Answer what was asked
Discuss an industry or company that you follow and why.
Five avoidable mistakes
- Choosing a subject for prestige. Pick one you can discuss beyond recent headlines.
- Starting with history. Lead with the current question or change that makes it interesting.
- Listing unsupported numbers. Use only facts you can explain and contextualize confidently.
- Ignoring the downside. A counterargument makes the analysis more credible.
- Forgetting the word why. Connect the subject to your genuine learning habit or commercial interest.
Use thesis, drivers, tension, update
State your one-sentence view. Support it with two drivers, then introduce the most important tension or risk. End with the next indicator you would watch and explain what change in that indicator would alter your position.
For example, a hypothetical candidate following a payments company could focus on the tension between transaction growth and rising acquisition costs. The answer would identify customer behavior and unit economics as the main drivers, acknowledge regulatory or competitive pressure, and specify the evidence that would trigger a reassessment.
