I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
First had to complete an excel exercise and had 3 days to do this.
Then for the next round I was asked random mathematical questions over the phone and had to explain the workings out and reasons behind your answer. The phone call lasted around 30 minutes.
First round: Excel exercise (formulas) and write-ups to answer questions Second round: phone interview asking market sizing and brain teaser (math) - didn't pass the second round Interview process pretty quick, always heard back within a week
I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street in Dec 2022
Interview
Multiple Rounds: - Online Assessment - Phone Interview #1 - Phone Interview #2 (got cut after #1) - Final Round I was asked not to disclose specific questions, but they asked Fermi estimation problems and difficult probability questions. If you are used to Quant Trading interviews, it is not much different. Got cut after Phone Interview #1, even though I thought I performed great. When I asked for an explanation, they said feedback was not part of their review process so that was disappointing.
Completed a simple data analysis written task and then was called in for an interview where they asked some typical consulting-style market sizing questions and another problem-solving type question. No questions about personal information were asked.
