I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Had a nice technical exercise at the beginning, testing out your Excel skills and pre-existing Operations expertise. They also had a write-up section afterwards. The format was a little awkward, because the test required exiting the test window (to use Excel) but the website hosting the exam would get upset each time. It was a fun exercise, regardless.
