I applied for a trader position off my college’s career site. They were prompt in replying. I received two phone interviews. The first was easy probability questions, but the second had more difficult questions. I did not get a final round interview. The younger guy I interviewed with was friendly but the older guy was really harsh/dismissive when I got something wrong.

Other Junior Trader Interview Reviews for Jane Street
I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street (Chicago Ridge, IL) in Jul 2024
Interview
The interview was hard and very challenging. It involved a lot of Statistical questions and theory, mainly probability theory. I had to show my quantitative problem solving skills and technical ability in coding

Question 1
They asked me about hackathons and Math Olympiads I have written
Standard interview for them, a call with some probability questions. If you get three questions right you pass, otherwise just hope for the best. Onsite is where it gets interesting but didn't make to there
Application by web form, received an online test later, then I had the first round interview online, doing some brain teasers questions, which msy be quite different from those you found in green book, more complicated and practical. The interviewer is smart but quite arrogant.
