      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Feb 2010

      Interview

      30 min 1:1 initial interview on campus consisting of a few minutes of banter about my resume followed by a bunch of relatively simple mental math and probability questions. 2nd and 3rd round phone interviews were similar, but fewer and more difficult questions were asked; both general logic/brainteasers and probability questions (coin flips and dice rolls). No finance or fit questions as expected. After each answer you give they ask how confident you are (in rounds 2 and 3 only). Interviewers were courteous and seemed like they would be good people to work with.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      How many digits are there in 2^50?

      Question 2

      Flip a coin until either HHT or HTT appears. Is one more likely to appear first? If so, which one and with what probability?

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Jane Street (Princeton, NJ) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      I applied through my university and heard back soon after the application had closed. There was very little chit-chat over the course of the interview; most of it was simply the guy asking me math/probability questions. This was actually my first ever interview, and I wasn't really expecting it, so it threw me off a little.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A survey is given to all passengers on a number of different planes. The survey asks each person how full their plane was. The people answer honestly. If 50% of people claim that their plane was 80% full, while the other 50% claim that their plane was 20% full, how full was the average plane?
