I applied online for a trading intern position. Got invited for a 30-min technical phone interview. The interviewer only asked brain teasers and basic probability questions, no fit questions or finance-related questions at all. Overall the experience was quite positive.

I had a phone screening call from a recruiter, they asked some standard probability questions, bayes rule, and expected value about dices. Overall experience was pretty good. Make sure you prepare your probability

I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street in Nov 2022
Interview
Very smooth. Around 30mins first round 1hr for the second round. First round consisted of easier probability based questions. Second round was similar but harder and longer questions. The interview process if approached in a calm composed manner should be easier to analyse
multiple phone interviews and a full-day Zoom interview. Interviews got longer and longer over time, but every person was very kind and helpful with hints when I got stuck. The questions get harder as the rounds progress and generally don't have a closed form answer in the later rounds
