      Assista Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in May 2012

      Interview

      Submitted application, got email back for phone interview about a week later. First round interview went straight into mental maths, then some probability questions. Second round was harder probability questions. Both interviews were late, and the second round had to be rescheduled due to the interviewer forgetting. Both interviewers were very friendly though!

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      1st Round: You toss 4 coins in the air, and win the number of heads shown. If you choose, you may reflip all 4 coins and must take the second result. What is the value of this game?

      Question 2

      1st Round: You're playing a game where you and an opponent have fair coins. You flip your coin first, and if you get H you win £10. If you get T your opponent may flip, and if he gets H he wins £10. The game continues in this manner until a H is tossed. What is your expected value?
