The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in May 2024
Interview
one zoom interview with brainteaser, one final round super day at JS office, as well as an initial online round with aptitude questions. Not a lot or prior knowledge in finance expected, however quick calculation skills are a plus
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Market maker knowledge, data analysis, system optimization logic...
Very consulting-like without looking for a too structured framework. Asked about restaurant reservations and how to optimize the current system, a lot more producty than strategy. Overall, prep with thinking practically and outside the box rather than with jargon
OA first, random ACT-like questions. First round was on building out a car rental system. Second round was on building a trading system. Did not make it further than this.
