I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street in Apr 2016
Interview
Involved two exercises. The first with some excel data analysis and the second a write up on a regulation. Following by a telephone interview. The telephone interview had a lot of questions on the technical write up. But since I had done the write up very thoroughly, and understood the concept well, I was able to comfortably answer all the questions that were asked. Sadly, the lady in the telephone interview was in extreme hurry. It felt as she was in a rush to just get done with the process.
