Interviewing at Jane Street was rigorous yet engaging.

Question 1

First round 30 min phone call with HR. Recruiter was not very personable and asked very generic questions. Asked about times I worked on projects I liked and projects that I did not like.

I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
I didn't get past the take-home test. I asked why I didn't get past and they wouldn't tell me. I could've maybe tried to do a python script to wow them but I heard of someone doing that and still failing to get the job. Though I will say that my excel wasn't the prettiest.
