I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Jan 2023
Interview
For the phone interview question, presented with three probability problems just focusing on the basics like conditional probability , brain teasers, and statistics problem. The problems aren't hard but its understanding some problems, the longer ones that require multiple parts through the phone can be confusing so ask lots of questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given probability it rains 40% sunday and 60% on the weekend, what is the probability it rains saturday?
A difficult interview. Did not encounter question in Leetcode/my own practise, had to think outside the box to solve it. Interviewer got straight to the point, no behavioral questions, so be prepared.

Question 1
Solve this question, walk me through your thinking.
Some brain teasers and probability problems that are variations of commonly seen quant interview problems. Require smart reacting rather than very high level maths or finance knowledge. Friendly interviewers, active involvement.
The interview process involved multiple rounds, starting with a phone screen covering probability, brain teasers, and market-related questions. This was followed by a technical assessment focused on programming and mathematical problem-solving. The final round included onsite interviews with case studies, logic puzzles, and discussions on trading strategies. The process emphasized clear thinking, structured problem-solving, and strong quantitative skills.
