What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I spoke to Jane Street on the phone for 45 mins. The first part was just going over my prior trading experience. The second part was technical questions. How to bet on each game of a seven game series to guarantee an outcome of winning or losing 100 dollars? Asked me to make a market on something then lifted my offer and asked me if I was happy with the trade. I said yes and he said, well i am the one asking the question so I know the answer so shouldnt you be unhappy? AKA a test of imperfect information.

Did not make it past phone interview.
