Jane Street Strategy & Product

I know technically it is a tech role, but seeing as it is a financial firm (and general well known / respected) I thought I would seek opinions here as people here are much more helpful than reddit. Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong forum.

Anyways - They describe it as a mix between business development and product management. How does it differ to a traditional PM role at FAANG? What are you actually building? How credible is the programme compared to say APM when lateraling to a different tech company or a startup? Any opportunity to rotate internally to a trading or research role? Any exit opportunities to VC?

Thanks! :)

Reluctant career PM here. I always avoid internal products 

you need your skill set to be portable. If for whatever reason you are drawn to tech then you want to be an industry SME. Go work at Apple for design, crowdstrike for cyber, Google for consumer apps 

do not become a specialist in an internal app. Where do you go after that? 

pm is a generalist skill set but with a market speciality. And it’s very hard to change market/ subjects 

 

wondering if you went through the interview process? i have mine tiomorrow
