I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (Hong Kong) in Sep 2022
Interview
The interviewer asked me several questions. Some are hard and you have to answer in a conversational way. They prefer you to answer ASAP. I got one question wrong and another tow correct, but i took too much time to think.
Went through 3 rounds of interview, all of which were focused on math. they started with basic questions and built up to harder ones. Also some behavioral questioins at the start of each round
Applied online and passed the resume screen, got invited to a first round, didn't pass, was my first time interviewing for quant and nerves made me answer not quite at the best of my ability

I was qualified for the first round of the interview proccess. I was asked about the reasons why i want to become a Quant and why i applied in Jane street for this role. After I was asked two probability questions. The interviewer was ok but at some moments I wasn't sure if she was following my thoughts

Question 1
Mainly I failied since I tried to give them a strict answer to one of the problems(which was impossible to calculate in this time) and the wanted to hear some intuitive approach which leads to approximately correct answer.
