Investment Bank Java Interview questions and preparation

I was planning to write this blog from past few years and every time I used to collect java interview topics from various internet site but was never able to collate. We think to change the job and try to find out better job for good work or better salary. The Technical jobs in java required special knowledge on few java topics and these topics helps developing good and robust enterprise application. If we understand these topics well then we will not face performance and stability issues. It helps our application to be flexible and handle various concurrency issues. In Java we should understand how to use memory and object memory foot print.
  Java is best suitable language due to its flexibility and high performance. It is best suitable for big enterprise application to small processing application. As a interviewer we always try to guage candidate on these basic java fundamentals. These topics are very common to cover any java related interview. I am trying to provide the latest trend in java knowledge accessment.

   Figure out the job descriptions and then select the technology they are focusing on. May be they are using some special tool, get on information on that.
   If possible try to get information on interviewer and check his\her linked in profile. You will come to know expertise areas and main difficult questions will come from these topics. If you prepare those area and answers more thank 50% of questions, they will be impressed as they think these are very special topics and they are expert on these topics.


  Best of luck for your interview and put your best effort. No need to cover all topics, it is more important that you understand the core topics and you are able to use them during application development.
