J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Jane Street (New York, NY) en nov. 2013
Entretien
Applied through a contact at the firm, was informed I got an interview about 6 hours later. We scheduled a phone interview for the following week. Pretty tough interview, wouldn't have been too bad if I was able to maintain my composure, got a little too nervous. Interviewer doesn't give his name or ask anything personal or fit based.

We're going to play a game. You go first. You flip a coin and if you get H, I give you $30. If you get T, you give me the coin and I flip. If I get H, you give me $30, if I get T I give it back to you. We keep going until one of us gets heads. What is the max amount you'd be willing to pay to go first. Give a 50% confidence range and a 90% one of your answer. Why?

zuerst basic fragen zum einsteigen danach ziemlich schnell weiter mit theoretischen fragen. anfangend mit einer eher leichten frage und langsam drauf aufbauend mit neuen Bedingungen. insgesamt war es meiner meinung nach eine gute Erfahrung.
