      Prop Trading Summer Intern Interview

      11 Mar 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      I went through two rounds of the five it takes to secure a summer intern spot. The first one is an in person interview where they ask you to do mental math. They generally don't ask any finance questions. The second round was brainteasers and harder logic math. The people were really nice, but in the end, acceptance is based on the skill you bring. Don't be afraid to answer a question wrong at first, as long as you don't panic, and correct yourself.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You are playing a game where the player gets to draw the number 1-100 out of hat, replace and redraw as many times as they want, with their final number being how many dollars they win from the game. Each "redraw" costs an extra $1. How much would you charge someone to play this game?
