Jane Street S&T interview questions?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into the types of questions you might encounter during Jane Street's S&T interviews:

General Interview Process:

• Multiple Rounds: Expect several rounds of interviews, including phone interviews and in-person interviews.
• Focus on Problem-Solving: The questions are designed to test your problem-solving skills rather than just getting the right answer.

Types of Questions:

1. Brainteasers and Math Questions:

   • You might encounter brainteasers that require a deep understanding of probability and mathematics.

2. Confidence Interval Questions:

   • You may be asked to bet chips on how long you think it will take you to answer a deceptively easy prompt. For example, betting on a 99% confidence interval means you are highly confident in your answer.

   • Mental math and market awareness are also tested.

4. Behavioral Questions:

   • Behavioral questions are included to assess your fit within the company culture and your ability to handle various situations.

Preparation Tips:

• Glassdoor and Other Prop Shops: Look up interview questions on Glassdoor and other proprietary trading firms like SIG to get a sense of the types of questions asked.
• Ignore the Chips: During interviews that don't involve chips, focus on the questions rather than worrying about the number of chips you have.

• WSO Hedge Fund Interview Prep Course: This course includes 814 questions across 165 hedge funds and can be a valuable resource for preparation.
